Question

A taxi service charges a $10 flat fee plus $3 per mile traveled. If an equation is made to calculate the total cost of a taxi ride,
1. What would be the value of the slope?

2. What would be the value of the y – intercept? (0, _ )

3. What would it cost if your trip was 22 miles?

-ANSWER CHOICES-
$76, $12, $3, $10, $89, $66

Answer 1

Flat rate=y intercept
rate per mile=slope
y=3x+10 would be it

1.
3 is the value of the slope (3 dollars per mile)

2.
y intercept is (0,10)

3.
22 miles
y=3(22)+10
y=66+10
y=76
$76
