Question

The cost of renting a car for one day is $39 plus 15 cents per mile driven. In a graph of the situation, what does the cost per mile driven represent?

Answer 1

It will represent the slope of the graph

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in getting what the cost per mile driven represent

From the information, we can represent the cost as;

C = 15d + 39

In this case we have a representation of the cost using the fixed daily cost(y-intercept) and the cost depending on the number of miles driven which will change based on the number of miles.

Since it is changing, it represents the slope of the function for cost
