A store rents DVDs for a base fee of $3.00 plus $0.50 for each day th customer has the DVD. This situation can be modeled by the linear equation y = 0.50x + 3.00. Which statement compares the graph of this model to that of the parent function y = x?

A. The graph of y = 0.50x + 3.00 is steeper that the graph of the parent function and has a y-intercept above that of the parent function.

B. The graph of y = 0.50x + 3.00 is less than the graph of the parent function and has a y-intercept below that of the parent function.

C. The graph of y = 0.50x + 3.00 is steeper than the graph of the parent function and has a y-intercept below that of the parent function.

D. The graph of y = 0.50x + 3.00 is less steep than the graph of the parent function and has a y-intercept below that of the parent function.
