What is the linear function,
C
(
x
)
?

Answer 1

C(x) = .95x + 37

The slope is .95 dollars per mile and the y intercept is 37 dollars

Explanation:

the flat rate is 37 plus .95 dollars a mile

C(x) = .95x + 37

This is in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is .95 dollars per mile and the y intercept is 37 dollars
