Suppose that a car rental agency charges a fixed amount per day plus an amount per mile for renting a car. Heidi rented a car one day and paid $52 for 180 miles. On another day she rented a car from the same agency and paid $77.50 for 350 miles. Find the linear function f(x) (where x is in miles and f(x) is in dollars) that the agency could use to determine its daily rental charges. f(x) =

9514 1404 393

  f(x) = 0.15x +25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points:

  (x, y) = (180, 52) or (350, 77.50)

The slope is given by ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (77.50 -52)/(350 -180) = 25.50/170 = 0.15

The y-intercept is given by ...

  b = y -mx

  b = 52 -0.15×180 = 25

Then the equation for the linear function is ...

  f(x) = mx +b

  f(x) = 0.15x +25

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
