Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Charging by the quarter mile is for purpose of making that particular taxi service seem cheaper than the others when they post a per mile charge. If this taxi company is charging .50 per 1/4 mile, they are charging $2 per mile. So we will base our equation on the per mile charge, not the per quarter-mile charge. If x is the number of mile driven (our uknown), and we have a flat fee of $2.50 regardless of how many miles we are driven, the cost function in terms of miles is

C(x) = 2x + 2.50

If we are driven 5 miles, then

C(5) = 2(5) + 2.50 so

C(5) = 10 + 2.50 and

C(5) = $12.50

It would cost $12.50 to be driven 5 miles

The two equations:
Daisy’s: y = 4x + 14
Donald’s: y= 2x + 26

The point of intersection is (6, 38)
This point refers to how many of passengers it will take for both equations to have have the same cost output.

Daisy’s deal is better if you have less than 6 passengers. We can tell because the line for the equation is lower than Donald’s line. Donald’d deal will be better if you have more than 6 passengers since the line is lower than daisy’s deal.
