Question 941988: At the corner store video club, Nobu can pay $7.50 to sign up and then rent DVDs for $3 each. At the Pricebuster video club, there is no charge for signing up, but it costs $3.50 each to rent DVDs
Write and graph a system of linear equations that relates the total cost at each video club to the number of DVDs rented. Label each equation on your graph.
If your graph includes a point of intersection, what does the point of intersection represent in the context of the problem?
