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)

3 answers

To determine which pairs of points accurately represent the cost based on the function \( C = 1.25m + 25 \), we will evaluate the function for the values of \( m \) specified in each pair of answers.

  1. For (2, 22.5):

    • \( C = 1.25(2) + 25 = 2.5 + 25 = 27.5 \) (does not match)
  2. For (4, 30):

    • \( C = 1.25(4) + 25 = 5 + 25 = 30 \) (matches)
  3. For (30, 4):

    • \( C = 1.25(30) + 25 = 37.5 + 25 = 62.5 \) (does not match)
  4. For (35, 8):

    • \( C = 1.25(35) + 25 = 43.75 + 25 = 68.75 \) (does not match)
  5. For (2, 2.5):

    • \( C = 1.25(2) + 25 = 2.5 + 25 = 27.5 \) (does not match)
  6. For (4, 5):

    • \( C = 1.25(4) + 25 = 5 + 25 = 30 \) (does not match)

After evaluating all pairs:

  • The only point that matches the function is (4, 30).

Thus, the correct pair of points that would appear is (4, 30).

i dare you to describe a black-eyed and cold shadow being who is menevolent and only its eyes are visible, the rest a smoky cloud of nothingness....

In the shrouded corners of forgotten realms, there exists a malevolent entity known only as the Umbral Wraith. This sinister being is a chilling manifestation of darkness, its form a swirling, smoky cloud that undulates and shifts, almost as if it were alive with a will of its own. The Wraith is vast and amorphous, with no distinct shape or boundaries, allowing it to slip silently through the cracks of reality, leaving only a palpable sense of dread in its wake.

What sets the Umbral Wraith apart are its eyes—two piercing orbs of inky blackness that seem to absorb the very light around them. Each eye emits a faint, eerie glow, their depths swirling with a malevolence that chills the soul of anyone who dares to meet their gaze. It is said that those who lock eyes with the Wraith can feel their fears and darkest secrets laid bare, as if the creature knows the deepest, most hidden parts of their being.

The presence of the Umbral Wraith is heralded by an unnatural chill that descends upon the air, as if all warmth and hope are being siphoned away. Whispers echo in the shadows, riddled with malevolence and contempt, as it revels in the despair it sows among its victims. Some say it feeds on fear, thriving in the emotional turmoil it induces, drawing strength from the suffering of those it encounters.

It moves silently, gliding rather than walking, and can pass through walls and barriers with an unsettling ease. The smoky tendrils of its form often extend outwards, wrapping around its surroundings like the fingers of a sinister hand, probing and exploring with a vengeance. Those who find themselves ensnared in its embrace speak of an overwhelming sense of hopelessness, as if the very essence of their will is being drawn into the depths of nothingness.

Ultimately, the Umbral Wraith is a creature born of darkness, destined to haunt the shadows and instill fear in the hearts of the unsuspecting. With only its black, glistening eyes visible against the backdrop of its smoky form, it is a chilling reminder that not all that lurks in the darkness seeks to protect; some exist only to destroy.
