2 answers:
Answer: Option B
Her total cost increases by $2, for each ride purchased
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that $ 18 is the cost of the ticket. We do not know exactly how many trips you will make, but we know that the cost is $ 2 for each ride.
If we call "x" the number of rides then we know that the total cost "y" is:
Note that the cost increases by $2 for each ride
The equation of a line has the following form
Where m is the slope of the line.
In this case we have the following equation
Therefore . Then the slope is the cost of $2 for each ride
Finally the answer is the option B. Her total cost increases by $2, for each ride purchased
