Answer 1

Answer:

B. The fixed rental for the book

Step-by-step explanation:

The library charged a fixed rental for the book and a late fee for every day the book was overdue.

$2 +0.25x$  shows the charges Kylie paid for the book when she returned it x days after the due date.

So, the constant term is the fixed rental.

As 0.25 is teamed up with x that is the number of days. So, 2 is the fixed rental charge.

Hence, option B is correct.
