Question

Bruce rented a motorcycle for a friend. The cost of renting a bike for one day can be represented by: 75 + 0.14m Where m is the number of miles traveled. Label each part of the expression:

•The daily rental rate for the bike:
•The cost per mile the shop will charge to rent:
•The cost in mileage for 1 day of travel:

Answer 1

The daily rental rate is 75 dollars

The cost per mile is .14

The cost for the mileage is .14m

The total cost per day is .14m+75

Explanation:

cost = 75 + 0.14m

Let's rewrite this in the form

y= mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

cost = .14m +75

The daily rental rate is 75 dollars

The cost per mile is .14

The cost for the mileage is .14m

The total cost per day is .14m+75
