Answer:
The additional cost is $0.12 for each additional mile the van is driven ⇒ D
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the linear function is
f(x) = m x + b, where
m is the rate
b is the initial value
In our question
The function C(d) = 0.12 d + 25 represents the cost C in dollars of the rental van uses for d miles
→ Compare it with the form of the linear function above
∴ m = 0.12
∴ b = 25
∵ The cost C depends on the number of miles d
∴ $0.12 is the cost per mile ⇒ additional cost for each additional mile
∴ $25 is the initial cost ⇒ initial cost of the moving the van
The interpretation of the slope for this function is:
The additional cost is $0.12 for each additional mile the van is driven
