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
Answer:
a=(2/5), b = (-2,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
well slope formula is rise/run. So for the first one you start at the point rise 2 run 5 and you reach the endpoint. That is how you know you got the correct slope. (2/5)
For the second one you start at the first point and you cannot go up because it is a negative slope you run 6 till you hit the other point go down 2. Since you go down 2 that would make it -2. (-2,6)

0.5x20=10
Answer:
Expression: 0.15 * 20
Equation: 0.15 * 20 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
This expression was found by dividing 15% by 100 to convert it into a decimal (0.15) that can be used to multiply with 20 to get your answer.
