Question

the price of a taxi ride in phoenix includes an initial fee of $2.75 plus $2.20 per mile. write an equation to show the total price of a cab ride. (Use C to represent the total cost and M to represent the mileage

Answer 1

The format is y = mx + b
where y would be your C
x would be your M
m would be the price per mile (2.20)
and b would be your initial fee (2.75)

put this together in that format and we get
C = 2.20M + 2.75
