Linear Functions: Taking a Taxi
You take a trip to downtown Boston to walk the Freedom Trail with your family. After you walk through the Bunker Hill Memorial, your family decides to take a taxi to a restaurant for dinner. After 1 mile, the meter on the taxi says $4.75. It will cost $8.25 to go 3 miles. The cost varies linearly with the distance that you traveled. If you have $11 in your pocket, will you be able to take the cab 5 miles?
Answer:
Cannot go 5 miles having just $11
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the cost varies linearly with the distance that you traveled, to model the linear function for this problem we know that
1 mile = $4.75
And so to go x miles, we require $4.75x
Equation can therefore be modelled thus :
y=4.5x
Where y = total cost of transport in dollars
x= cost in dollars per mile
To find out if we can go 5 miles just having $11, we plug in 5 miles for x into the equation to find total cost of transport going 5 miles
y=4.5*5
y= $22.5
Therefore we cannot go 5 miles just having $11
