per day.

Answer 1

I can’t see the graph clearly enough to pick the exact numbers. I can tell you how to read it and then you can either tell me two points from the line or upload a clearer picture.

How to find the two pieces for the dropdowns:
- The up-front charge (flat fee) is the y‑intercept: the amount at time = 0 days.
- The additional charge per day is the slope: pick two points on the line (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) and compute (y2 − y1) ÷ (x2 − x1).

Example: if the graph shows $5 at 0 days and $11 at 3 days, then
- flat fee = $5 (y‑intercept)
- per day = (11 − 5) ÷ (3 − 0) = $2 per day

Give me the y value at day 0 and one other point from the line (or upload the graph) and I’ll fill in the exact dropdown choices.
