Question

A used car already has 40,000 miles on its odometer. The average owner will drive 12,000 miles per year.

Which function best models the linear relationship?

y = 12,000x + 40,000
y = 40,000x + 12,000
y = 52,000x + 12,000
y = 12,000x − 40,000

someone please help :(

Answer 4

if y is the total distance traveled by the car then
y = 12,000x + 40,000
Note that 40,000 is constant since it's already registered in the odometer and that 12,000 has the variable x since it would vary in value depending on the number of years that the owner would be driving the car
