if you rent a full-size car from Quick Car Rental for 1 day how much would the total rental cost be if you drove the car 78 miles than if you drove it 77?

Assuming you drove the car 78 miles than driving it 77 miles, the total rental cost would be calculated by determining the slope of the line for Quick Car Rental (Q) and for Speedy Car Rental.

Mathematically, the slope of any straight line can be calculated by using this formula;

[tex]Slope = \frac{Change\;in\;y\;axis}{Change\;in\;x\;axis}\\\\Slope = \frac{y_2\;-\;y_1}{x_2\;-\;x_1}[/tex]

Substituting the given points into the formula, we have;

[tex]Slope = \frac{55\;-\;15}{100\;-\;0}\\\\Slope = \frac{40}{100}[/tex]

Slope = 0.40.

Therefore, the total rental cost would be equal to $0.40.
