Question 182

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-When a tow truck is called, the cost of the service is given by the linear function y=3x+80y = 3 x + 80 , where yy is in dollars and xx is the number of miles the car is towed. Find and interpret the slope and y\mathrm { y } -intercept of the linear equation.


A) m=80\mathrm { m } = 80 ; The cost of the service increases $80\$ 80 every mile the car is towed. b=3b = 3 ; The cost of the service is $3\$ 3 if the car is not towed.
B) m=3\mathrm { m } = 3 ; The cost of the service increases $3\$ 3 every mile the car is towed. b=80\mathrm { b } = 80 ; The cost of the service is $80\$ 80 if the car is not towed.
C) m=3\mathrm { m } = 3 ; The number of miles the car is towed increases 3 miles for every dollar spent on the service. b=80b = 80 ; The tow truck will tow the car 80 miles for no cost.
D) m=80\mathrm { m } = 80 ; The number of miles the car is towed increases 80 miles for every dollar spent on the service. b=3b = 3 ; The tow truck will tow the car 3 miles for no cost.
