To analyze the function \( c = 0.85m + 19 \):
-
Cost per mile (variable cost): This is represented by the coefficient of \( m \) in the equation. In this case, \( 0.85 \) is the cost per mile to drive the truck.
-
Initial cost to rent the truck (fixed cost): This is represented by the constant term in the equation. Here, that value is \( 19 \).
Putting it all together:
- Cost per mile: \( 0.85 \)
- Initial cost to rent the truck: \( 19 \)
So the selections are:
- Per-mile cost: 0.85
- Initial cost to rent the truck: 19
