Question

A landscaper needs to rent tree-trimming equipment. The graph shows the rental cost for the equipment at two different store’s. help

Answer 1

Answer:

D. (80, 25)

Explanation:

From the graph, the time and cost at which the two stores charge the same amount is the point where the two lines intersect.

• Tracing the point of intersection to the x-axis, the value of the time = 80.

,

• Similarly, tracing the same point to the y-axis, the value is between 20 and 30, approximately 25.

Therefore, the point that best estimates the time and cost at which the two stores charge the same amount is:

$(x,y)=(80,25)$

The correct option is D.
