Question

A cab company charges according to the following rate chart. Which graph correctly represents the charge, y, in dollars for a cab ride of x miles? Cab Rates by Mile Miles Charge Flag drop fee (0 miles) $5.00 g miles $1.00 per mile miles $2.00 per mile for each mile over 10

Answer 1

The graph is the one that correctly represents the linear piece-wise function is the first graph.

How to solve for the graph

First we have a linear function as

Mx + b

mc= slope, this is the rate of change, how y changes as x changes by 1.

b = y-intercept, y value as x = 0

y = 5 + x

x ≤ 10

at 10 we have 5 + 10 = 15

at 2 dollars

y = 15 + 2(x - 10)

at 14

y = 15 + 2(14 - 10)

15 + 2*4

= 23

Hence we can conclude that the first graph here is the correct one.
