The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Lynn found that in May it cost her $385 to drive 460 mi and in June it cost her $470 to drive 800 ml. (a) Express the monthly cost C as a function of the distance driven d, assuming that a linear relationship gives a suitable model. a(d) = (b) Use part (a) to predict the cost of driving 1500 miles per month. $ (c) Draw the graph of the linear function. 1000 800 600 400 200 C 1000 800 600 400 200 200 400 600 800 1000 onn 400 Kon On 1000 d C 1000 800 600 400 200 C 1000 800 600 400 200 200 400 200 600 800 400 600 800 1000 1000 d d
What does the slope represent? It represents the cost (in dollars) of driving. It represents the fixed cost (amount she pays even if she does not drive). It represents the cost (in dollars) per mile. It represents the distance (in miles) traveled. (d) What does the y-intercept represent? It represents the cost (in dollars) per mile. It represents the fixed cost (amount she pays even if she does not drive). It represents the cost (in dollars) of driving. It represents the distance (in miles) traveled. B B non (e) Why does a linear function give a suitable model in this situation? A linear function is suitable because the monthly cost increases as the number of miles driven decreases. A linear function is suitable because the monthly cost increases even if the miles driven is constant. A linear function is suitable because the monthly cost is fixed despite the fact that the miles driven may vary. A linear function is suitable because the monthly cost increases as the number of miles driven increases.
