Answer:

The monthly rent for an apartment near the 6-mile marker cost around $1,520.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]y=-35x^{2} +505x-250[/tex]

Where [tex]x[/tex] is miles and [tex]y[/tex] is dollars.

If [tex]x=6[/tex] miles, the monthly rent apartment would be the solution of the function for this value.

[tex]y=-35(6)^{2} +505(6)-250=-35(36)+3030-250\\y=-1260+2780\\y=1520[/tex]

Therefore, the monthly rent for an apartment near the 6-mile marker cost around $1,520.
