<span>c =0.20m + 2.00
Where c is the cost and m = number of miles,
For a 2.7 mile ride, m = 2.7
</span>
<span>c = 0.20m + 2.00, m = 2.7
</span>
<span>c = 0.20*2.7 + 2
c = 0.54 + 2
c = 2.54
Charge for the ride = $2.54
I hope this helps.

The average rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval (a, b) is given by

Therefore, given a function, f(x), over an interval (2, 9), the average rate of change of the function can be found using the expression
The first equation is

The second equation is

If you sum the two equations you'll cancel y:

And since the sum must be 11, we have y=9.
