A. The annual cost is shown by the linear function y = 85x + 7.50. The rate of change is 85, and the initial value is 7.50.

B. The annual cost is shown by the linear function y = 92.50x. The rate of change is 92.50, and the initial value is 0.

C. The annual cost is shown by the linear function y = 7.50x + 85. The rate of change is 7.50, and the initial value is 85.

D. The annual cost is shown by the linear function y = x + 85. The rate of change is 1, and the initial value is 85.
