1. Caitlyn is going away to college and will need to rent a truck to help
move. The cost of the truck is $35 plus $0.79 per mile. If her college
is 85 miles away and she budgeted $100 for the rental, will she have
enough money?
we know that
The equation in slope intercept form of this situation is
y=mx+b
where
m=$0.79 per mile
b=$35
y -----> is the total cost
x -----> the number of miles
so
y=0.79x+35
so
For x=85 miles
substitute
y=0.79(85)=35
y=$102.15
we have that
102.15 > 100
therefore
