F = 2.25 + 0.20(m-1)

F = 6.05

6.05 = 2.25 + 0.20(m-1)

Subtract 2.25 on both sides

6.05 - 2.25 = 0.20(m-1)

3.8 = 0.2(m-1)

Divide both sides by 0.2

3.8/0.2 = m - 1

19 = m - 1

Add 1 on both sides

19 + 1 = m

m = 20
 
If Juan's taxi fare was $6.05, then Juan traveled 20 miles in the taxi.

In this problem, it is just a simple case of substitution and solving for the m which is the number of miles. Take the equation F = 2.25 + 0.20 (m-1). According to the given, the fare, or the F is 6.05 so with that, we can already solve the equation. this will be 6.05 = 2.25 + 0.20 (m-1). After that, all we have to do is just solve for the m. If we would solve for the m, we will end up with a final answer of 20. So all in all, the taxi was able to travel 20 miles on the 6.05 fare of Juan

Complete the equation of the line through (2,1) and (5,-8)
Mila [183]

First we calculate the slope (which is called "m".

Slope = m = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)

m = (-8 -1) / (5 -2) = -9 / 3 = -3

We next fill in this equation: b = y -mx

We know m = -3 and we can choose a point (2, 1) to calculate "b"

b = 1 --3 * 2 b = 7

Putting this into y = mx +b

y = -3x +7
