Given:
Fixed charges = $40
Variable charges = $1.70 for each mile.
To find:
The equation that represents the total cost y for x miles towed.
Find the y-intercept and interpret its meaning in the context of the situation.
Solution:
Let y be the total cost for x miles.
Fixed charges = $40
Variable charges for 1 mile = $1.70
Variable charges for x mile = $1.70x
Now,
Total changes = Fixed charges + Variable changes

Therefore, the required equation is
.
Putting x=0 in the above equation, we get



Therefore, the y-intercept is 40. It means the charges to hook a car is $40 if it is towed 0 miles.
The statement "The correct way to calculate population size is by dividing the total population by the land area." is true. The correct option is A.
<h3>What is the population?</h3>
The entire number of species in a given area makes up the population. Surveys of various places are conducted to determine the population. By dividing the total population by the fraction of each individual, the population size can be determined.
There are various techniques for population counting. Cohort analysis, aerial counts, etc., are some of these techniques.
Thus, the statement is true. The correct option is A.
