We need to find equation which represents y in terms of x.

For 1-day rental $68.22$is constant and total cost will be $25*(milesdriven)$.

$x=$miles driven

$y=$total cost

so, the equation will be$y=25x+68.22$

we need to find value of b₀and b₁

General form of linear equation is $y=b_0+b_{1}x$

Comparing $y=25x+68.22$with general form we get,

b₀=$68.22$ and b₁=$25$.

We need to find the table for x-values $50$,$100$,and $250$miles .

Table is given below

We need to plot the graph of above linear equation.

Graph for above linear equation is

We need to estimate the cost of driving the car $150$miles using graph first and then calculate exact value of cost by using linear equation.

According to graph the estimate value of cost for $150$miles is around $\$3800$

if we put the value of $x=150$we get $y=3818.22$

So the exact cost is$\$3818.22$
