A car rental company charges a flat fee of $50 plus $0.20 per mile driven. Write the linear equation that represents the total cost (C) in terms of miles driven (m). What is the slope and intercept of this equation?

C = 30 + 0.20m; Slope: 0.20, Intercept: 30

C = 50 + 0.20m; Slope: 0.20, Intercept: 50

C = 50 + 0.10m; Slope: 0.10, Intercept: 50

C = 50 + 0.50m; Slope: 0.50, Intercept: 50

A taxi company charges a base fare of $3 plus $2 for every mile driven. Write the equation for the total fare (F) in terms of miles (m). How would you find the y-intercept of this equation?

F = 2m; y-intercept is 2.

F = 5 + 2m; y-intercept is 5.

F = 3m + 2; y-intercept is 0.

F = 3 + 2m; y-intercept is 3.

A gardener is planting flowers in a straight line. If he plants 5 flowers every hour, write a linear equation to represent the total number of flowers (F) planted after (h) hours. What does the slope represent in this context?

F = 5h + 2; the slope represents the initial number of flowers planted.

F = 10h; the slope represents the total number of flowers planted.

F = 3h; the slope represents the time taken to plant each flower.

F = 5h; the slope represents the rate of flowers planted per hour.

A delivery service charges a flat fee of $15 plus $1.50 per mile. Write the equation for the total cost (C) in terms of miles (m). How would you interpret the slope and intercept?

C = 15 + 1.50m

C = 15 + 0.50m

C = 15 + 2m

C = 10 + 1.50m
