It costs $32 per day to rent a medium-sized car, plus $0.25 for each mile driven over 150 miles. The equation that represents this situation is y = 0.25x + 32, where y represents the total cost of renting a car, and x represents the number of miles driven over 150 miles.
a.) What is the slope and what does it represent in the context of this problem?

b.) What is the y- intercept and what does it represent in the context of this problem?

Step-by-step explanation:

A)The slope is the number before the X so 0.25, this represents the amount of money people have to pay for each mile driven over 150 miles.

B) The y-intercept is the number after the X so 32, this number represents the amount people have to pay rent the car before actually using it.
