A rental truck company charges $25 to rent a truck, then $1.25 for every mile it is driven. The situation can be expressed as C=1.25m+25

, where C
is the total cost to rent the truck and m is the miles driven. If you plot points on the linear function, which of the following would appear?(1 point)

To determine which points would appear on the linear function given by the equation \( C = 1.25m + 25 \), we can substitute the values of \( m \) from each of the response options into the equation to see if they yield the corresponding \( C \) values.

  1. For (2, 22.5):

    • \( m = 2 \)
    • \( C = 1.25(2) + 25 = 2.5 + 25 = 27.5 \) (not equal to 22.5)
  2. For (4, 30):

    • \( m = 4 \)
    • \( C = 1.25(4) + 25 = 5 + 25 = 30 \) (this is correct)
  3. For (8, 35):

    • \( m = 8 \)
    • \( C = 1.25(8) + 25 = 10 + 25 = 35 \) (this is correct)
  4. For (2, 2.5):

    • \( m = 2 \)
    • \( C = 1.25(2) + 25 = 2.5 + 25 = 27.5 \) (not equal to 2.5)
  5. For (4, 5):

    • \( m = 4 \)
    • \( C = 1.25(4) + 25 = 5 + 25 = 30 \) (not equal to 5)
  6. For (30, 4):

    • \( m = 30 \)
    • \( C = 1.25(30) + 25 = 37.5 + 25 = 62.5 \) (not equal to 4)
  7. For (35, 8):

    • \( m = 35 \)
    • \( C = 1.25(35) + 25 = 43.75 + 25 = 68.75 \) (not equal to 8)

Based on the evaluations, the following points are valid:

  • \( (4, 30) \)
  • \( (8, 35) \)

Thus, the correct points that appear on the linear function are \( (4, 30) \) and \( (8, 35) \).
