Hi there!

I believe your answer is:
False.
0.40 is the rate of change.
»»————- ★ ————-««
Here’s why:
- As mentioned in the scenario, the car company charges a $30 fee which is flat. The '30' is the base for the total cost.
- The car company also charges 40 cents for every mile driven.
- This means that the company would charge a 40 cents for a mile driven.
- 40 cents would be the rate of change, not $30.

Side Note:
An equation that represents the situation could be:
[tex]C = 0.40m + 30[/tex]
'C' is the total cost for renting the car.
'm' is the number of miles the car is driven.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
