Fiona is planning on moving to Oregon for a new job. She calls a couple rental agencies to find out how much it will cost to rent a truck.

When she called the rental agency A New Beginning, they quoted her that renting truck will cost $40.00 plus $0.15 per mile. Write an equation that gives the cost C of driving the trucky miles. C = 40 + 0.15x b. When she called the rental agency To Infinity and Beyond they quoted her that renting a truck will cost $30.00 plus $0.35 per mile. Write an equation that gives the cost of driving the truck.x miles. C=30+0.35x, c. Graph both equations on the same graph., d. What is the point of intersection? Be sure to show work for finding the point of intersection and lobel it on the graph. e. Interpret the point of intersection. Tell us what it means in a complete sentence.​

Answer 1

The intersection is at (50,47.50). At 50 miles the cost will be the same. After 50 miles the cost will continue to increase at a greater rate when using To Infinity and Beyond.
