Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We write a function f(x) which gives the values of the function that are dependent on the independent variable "x".
Given: The number of miles on the odometer can be represented by the equation y = x + 40, 000, where y is the number of miles on the odometer, and x is the number of miles you have driven it.
Here y is dependent on x, so we replace y by f(x), then we get
which is the required answer.
You can see that each time x increases by 1, y increases by 5. This means that the coefficient of x is 5 (if you graphed it, the slope would be 5). To find what value to add at the end, you can look at what y is when x equals 0. In this case, that is -2 (on a graph, -2 would be the y-intercept).
