Question

A used car already has 40,000 miles on its odometer. The average owner will drive 12,000 miles per year.

Which function best models the linear relationship?

y = 12,000x + 40,000
y = 40,000x + 12,000
y = 52,000x + 12,000
y = 12,000x − 40,000

Answer 1

The function best models the linear relationship is y=12,000x+40,000.
