Writing Equations & Identifying Slope/Intercept in Costs

A car rental company charges a flat fee of $30 plus $0.20 per mile driven. Write the equation in slope-intercept form to represent the total cost (C) as a function of miles driven (m). What is the slope and intercept?

• Slope: 0.20, Intercept: 30

• Slope: 0.10, Intercept: 40

• Slope: 0.50, Intercept: 20

• Slope: 30, Intercept: 0.20

A local gym charges a monthly membership fee of $25 and an additional $10 per fitness class attended. Write the equation in slope-intercept form for the total cost (C) based on the number of classes (c). Identify the slope and intercept.

• C = 15c + 20

• C = 5c + 25

• C = 10c + 30

• C = 10c + 25; slope = 10, intercept = 25

A phone company offers a plan that costs $40 per month plus $0.10 per text message. Write the equation in slope-intercept form for the total monthly cost (C) based on the number of text messages (t). Identify the slope and intercept.

• C = 0.10 + 40t; Slope: 40, Intercept: 0.10

• C = 40 + 0.05t; Slope: 0.05, Intercept: 40

• C = 40 + 0.10t; Slope: 0.10, Intercept: 40

• C = 40t + 0.10; Slope: 40, Intercept: 0.10

A bakery sells cupcakes for $3 each and has a daily fixed cost of $50. Write the equation in slope-intercept form for the total revenue (R) based on the number of cupcakes sold (c). What is the slope and intercept?

• R = 3c - 50; slope = 3, intercept = -50

• R = 3c; slope = 3, intercept = 0

• R = 50 + 3c; slope = 3, intercept = 50

• R = 3c + 50; slope = 50, intercept = 3
