A highway has an optional toll lane that drivers may take to reduce the time they spend driving. Drivers pay a small fee to enter the toll lane ($0.25). Then, once they leave the toll lane, they pay a fee based on the number of miles they have traveled on the toll lane. Assume that the driver may leave the lane after any whole number of miles, and pays for exactly that number, without rounding up. Note that there is a linear relationship between the number of miles a vehicle has traveled and the price of the toll.
