from the question, we were told the following:

That the rental fee at a video is $5 and there is an addition of 1$ for everyday late.

We are to represent the above statement as a linear function.

Let make the rental fee be x

So for a charge of $5:

is = 5x

since there is an addition of $1 every day for lateness, we will have:

= 5x + 1

Therefore the function will be:

f(x) = 5x + 1

So the correct option is the third option which is f(x) = 5x + 1
