Answer:
$10.50 for 10 miles & 0.75m+3 for "m" miles
Step-by-step explanation:
if the taxi charges $3 just for showing up, then in the formula (y=mx+b) 3 would be your "b"
y = mx + 3
if the taxi is charging $0.75 per mile, the mile will be your "x" in the formula, and 0.75 will represent your "m" in the formula
y = 0.75x + 3 - this is your equation for "m" miles
to find how much for 10 miles, substitute 10 for "x" in your formula
y = 0.75 (10) +3
y = 10.50
so it is $10.50 for 10 miles, including the 3 dollar pick up fee.
