Interpret the linear equation.When a tow truck is called, the cost of the service is given by the linear function , where y is in dollars and x is the number of miles the car is towed. Find and interpret the slope and y-intercept of the linear equation.

A. m = 40; The number of miles the car is towed increases 40 miles for every dollar spent on the service. b = 3; The tow truck will tow the car 3 miles for no cost.
B. m = 40; The cost of the service increases $40 every mile the car is towed. b = 3; The cost of the service is $3 if the car is not towed.
C. m = 3; The cost of the service increases $3 every mile the car is towed. b = 40; The cost of the service is $40 if the car is not towed.
D. m = 3; The number of miles the car is towed increases 3 miles for every dollar spent on the service. b = 40; The tow truck will tow the car 40 miles for no cost.

Solve the problem.A company that produces inflatable rafts has costs given by the function , where x is the number of inflatable rafts manufactured and C(x) is measured in dollars. The average cost to manufacture each inflatable raft is given by (x) = .What is the horizontal asymptote for the function ? Describe what this means in practical terms.

A. y = 20; $20 is the least possible cost for producing each inflatable raft. B. y = 15,000; $15,000 is the least possible cost for running the company. C. y =15,000; 15,000 is the maximum number of inflatable rafts the company can produce. D. y = 20; 20 is the minimum number of inflatable rafts the company can produce.
