Rate of Change and Y Intercept

Aunt Maggie’s car broke down on Interstate10. Sam’s Towing charges a $57 hook up fee and $2 per mile towed. Regina’s Towing charges a $45 hook up fee and $2.50 per mile towed. Which of the following is NOT true?

• Both situations can be modeled using linear functions.

• The rate of change of the function that models Regina’s towing charge is 2.5
