Example 4:

12. A train travels at a constant speed of 75 mi/h. The function f ( x ) = 75 x gives the distance that the train travels in x hours. Graph this function and give its domain and range.

13. A movie rental store charges a $6.00 membership fee plus $2.50 for each movie rented. The function f ( x ) = 250 x + 6 gives the cost of renting x movies. Graph this function and give its domain and range.
