car rental company charges $50 a day and 20 cents per mile for renting a car. Let y be the total rental charges (in dollars) for a car for one day and x be the miles driven. The equation for the relationship between x and y is : y=50+20x A. How much will a person pay who rents a car for one day and drives it 100 miles? B. Suppose each of 20 persons rents a car from this agency for one day and drives it 100 miles. Will each
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
