Question

Jenny is renting a moving truck. She will have to pay a one-time fee for insurance coverage and pay the daily rate for the truck each day she uses it. The total cost of renting the truck in terms of the number of days the move will take can be modeled by the equation: y = 100x + 85. A. What is the slope? B. What is the y-intercept?

Answer 1

Slope is 100

y-intercept is 85

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be modeled according to the function;

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

comparing what we have ;

y = 100x + 85 with the standard form ;

Slope will be 100 and y-intercept is 85
