Answer:

I honestly used google.

Step-by-step explanation:

It means: In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the "slope-intercept form".

Degger [83]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 pickup fee
$0.25 per mile

<u>Equation</u>

y = 0.25x + 5

<u>Cost of 5 miles:</u>

y = 0.25(5) + 5 = $6.25

<h3>KC yellow Cab Co.</h3>

$1.75 pickup fee
$0.75 per mile

<u>Equation</u>

y = 0.75x + 1.75

<u>Cost of 5 miles:</u>

y = 0.75(5) + 1.75 = $5.5

Comparing the cost we see KC yellow Cab Co. is better value for a 5 mile ride.
