The local service center advertises that it charges a flat
fee of $50 plus $8 per mile to tow a vehicle. The function
Cx x ( ) = + 8 50 represents the cost C (in dollars) of
towing a vehicle, where x is the number of miles the
vehicle is towed. Identify the slope and y-intercep

A linear function is a function that changes at a constant rate.

  • The slope of the function is 8,
  • The y-intercept of the function is 50

The given parameters are:

  • Flat Fee = $50
  • Charge per mile = $8

The linear function is given as:

[tex]C(x) = 50 + 8x[/tex]

A linear function is represented as:

[tex]C(x) = b + mx[/tex]

Where:

  • b represents the y-intercept
  • m represents the slope

So, by comparison:

[tex]b =50[/tex]

[tex]m = 8[/tex]

Hence, the slope of the function is 8, and the y-intercept of the function is 50
