Answer:
300 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of miles
y ----> the total cost for rent a car
we know that
The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
<u><em>Prestige car rentals</em></u>
we have that
The slope is equal to
The y-intercept is
therefore
-----> equation A
<u><em>Gateway auto</em></u>
we have that
The slope is equal to
The y-intercept is
therefore
-----> equation B
