The graph below shows cost, C , in dollars versus distance x , in kilometres, for two different
car rental companies A and B. (Assume that parts of distance are charged for
proportionately.)
The costs for each company are outlined in the table below.
C=250+0.25 x C=300+0.05 x
c) Construct a linear rule for y=C A −C B, the difference in cost between Company A and
Company B.
