Because It Can Be Simplified Many Ways
(0,5.25)(10,13.75)
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope(m) = (13.75 - 5.25) / (10 - 0) = 8.5/10 = 0.85
y = mx + b
(0,5.25)...x = 0 and y = 5.25
slope(m) = 0.85
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y int
5.25 = 0.85(0) + b
5.25 = b
so ur equation is : y = 0.85x + 5.25 or C(t) = 0.85t + 5.25 <==
cost of a 12 min taxi ride.....sub in 12 for t
C(t) = 0.85t + 5.25
C(12) = 0.85(12) +5.25
C(12) = 10.20 + 5.25 = 15.45
so a 12 min ride would cost u : $ 15.45 <==
Answer:
slope is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = 
change in y = (13-7), (19-13), (25-19), (31-25)
change in y = 6
Change in x = (4-2), (6-4), (8-6), (10-8)
Change in x = 2
Therefore slope = 
Slope = 3
