Use the equation to find the slope: m=y2-y1/x2-x1 and plug in each of the y coordinates into the numerator and each of the x coordinates in the denominator
m=-2-3/4-8
-5/-4
m=5/4
Plug in the slope and one of the ordered pairs into y=mx+b. I’ll use (8,3)
3=5/4(8)+b
3=10+b
-7=b
Equation: y=5/4x-7
Looking for the area of a regular figure would be taking the longest side and the shortest side and multiply
If you multiply 6 times 8 there are 48
3.5m + 2.5 = 79.5 is the equation that could be used to determine m, the number of miles in the taxi ride.
Given in question,
Pick-up fee = $2.50
Fee per mile = $3.50
Total fare = $79.50
Let the no. of miles = m
Fee for m miles = 3.50m
Equation, 3.50m + 2.50 = 79.50.
Hence, the equation is 3.50m + 2.50 = 79.50.
