Question

Which statement describes the function shown on the graph? A) The company charges a $150 rental fee and a charge of $0.50 per mile. B) The company charges a $150 rental fee and a charge of $0.875 per mile. C) The company charges a $200 rental fee and a charge of $0.50 per mile. D) The company charges a $200 rental fee and a charge of $0.875 per mile.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

YOu can see the rental fee on the graph as the amount payed at zero miles. The charge is 50$ per 100 miles, 50/100= 0.5

Answer 2

The company charges a $150 rental fee and a charge of $0.50 per mile. option A

Which statement describes the function shown on the graph?

From the blurry image;

point 1:

C = $250

d = 200 miles

Point 2:

C = $350

d = 400 miles

Point 3:

C = $450

d = 600 miles

Point 4:

C = $550

d = 800 miles

Point 2:

C = $650

d = 1000 miles

Slope, m = Change in cost / change in distance

= (350 - 250) / (400 - 200)

= 100/200

= 0.5

The equation:

y = mx + b

At point 1

250 = 0.5(200) + b

250 = 100 + b

250 - 100 = b

150 = b

Therefore, y-intercept, b represent the rental fee and slope, m represent the charge per mile.
