Serenity is moving and must rent a truck. There is an initial charge for the rental plus a fee per mile driven. The total cost of renting the truck can be modeled by the
equation C = 50 +2.75m, where m is the number of miles driven. What is the y-
intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

The y-intercept of the equation is 50

Its interpretation in the context is " the initial charge for the rental "

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear relationship can be represented by the equation

y = a x + b, where

∵ Serenity is moving and must rent a truck

∵ There is an initial charge for the rental

∴ b represents the initial charge for the rental

∵ There is a fee per mile driven

∴ a represents the fee per mile driven

∵ The equation represents this situation is C = 50 + 2.75 m

∵ C is the total cost

∵ m is the number of miles driven

→ Compare it with the form of the equation above

∴ a = 2.75

∴ b = 50

∵ b is the y-intercept

∴ The y-intercept of the equation is 50

∵ b represents the initial charge for the rental

∴ The initial charge for the rental is $50

∴ Its interpretation in the context is " the initial charge for the rental "
