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.
