A car rental company charges $50 to rent a car and $0.50 for each mile driven. Let x represent the number of miles driven. Let f(x)
represent the total cost of the rental.

f(x)=0.50x+50
f ( x ) = 0 . 50 x + 50
f(x)=0.50x−50
f ( x ) = 0 . 50 x - 50
f(x)=50x+0.50
f ( x ) = 50 x + 0 . 50
f(x)=50x−0.50

To create a linear function that models the problem described, we need to account for both the fixed rental cost and the variable cost based on the miles driven.
The rental company charges a flat fee of $50, and an additional $0.50 for each mile driven, which is represented by \( x \).
The total cost \( f(x) \) can be expressed as follows:
\[ f(x) = 0.50x + 50 \]
Thus, the correct response is:
f(x) = 0.50x + 50
