Merv’s Uber charges passengers $1.00 for a ride, and an additional $0.30 for each mile traveled. The function rule C = 0.30m + 1.00 describes the relationship between the number of miles m and the total cost of the ride C. If Merv’s company will only go a maximum of 40 miles, what is a reasonable graph of the function rule?

A reasonable graph of the function rule can be a line that starts at $1.00 on the y-axis (representing the fixed charge) and has a slope of $0.30 (representing the charge per mile). The line should extend up to a maximum of 40 miles on the x-axis.
