Question

you are renting a car. it will cost you $25 per plus $0.10 per mile a day. Write an equation to represent the daily cost of renting a car. what are the slope and y intercept of your equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope: 0.1      Y-intercept: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

No matter how many miles you use, you will have to pay $25 right off the bat. To express this, your y-intercept would have to be 25.

For every mile you drive, you have to pay $0.10, or ten cents. This would make our slope 0.1.
