Okay, so let's say that "y" is the total amount she pays for these movies, and "x" is the number of nights she has the movie. This would be the function which represents this scenario:

y = 1.50+1.25x

1.5 stands for the money you paid upfront, and 1.25 for each night she kept the movie, with x standing for that each night
