There is a set daily fee for renting a moving truck, plus a charge of $0.50 per mile driven. It cost $64 to rent the truck on a day when it is driven 48 miles.
1. Write the point-slope form of an equation to find the total charger ( y ) for any number of miles (x) for a one day rental.
2. Write the equation in slope-intercept form
3. What is the daily fee
PLEASE HELP ME AND SHOW WORK.

I'm pretty sure that first answer was wrong...
First do 48(.5)=24 This means $24 is the cost for the miles that day...
So the daily fee is $40 ($64-$24)
Thus... y=x(.5)+ 24
And I forget point-slope form...

y = .5x + 64 <-- slope intercept form
y = .5(48)+64 = $88 if driven 48 miles
y-64 =.5x <-- Point slope form
