Comparing Rate of Change and Y-Intercept

Aunt Maggie’s car broke down on Interstate10. Sam’s Towing charges a $57 hook up fee and $2 per mile towed. Regina’s Towing charges a $45 hook up fee and $2.50 per mile towed. Which of the following is NOT true?

• Both situations can be modeled using linear functions.

• The rate of change of the function that models Regina’s towing charge is 2.5

• The intercept of the functions that model both situations represents the hook up fee.

• The rate of change of the functions that model both situations represent the miles traveled per hour.

1. You saved $300 to spend over the summer. You decide to budget $50 to spend each week.

Write an equation (in slope-intercept form) that represents this situation.

• y = 300x + 50

• y = 300 + 50x

• y = 50x + 300

• y = 50 + 300x
