Question

A tow truck company in Houston charges a $40 service call fee and an additional fee of $15 per mile that the vehicle is towed. Write an equation in slope intercept form where c represents the total cost and m, represents the number of miles the vehicle is towed.

Answer 1

c=15m+40

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

charged = $40 call fee

additional charges= $15 per mile

let the number of miles be m

and let the total charges be c

Required, the linear function which represents the total charges

Step two:

the equation for the charges in slope-intercept form is

c=15m+40
