Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the journey initially costs $2 (this will be our y-intercept), and the variable (x) is $1 for every additional kilometer. This can be modelled as...
y=1x+2
(i) if we want to know the cost of what 3.5 km would cost, we simply plug it into our equation...
y=1(3.5)+2
Answer: $5.5
(ii) For this question you can set the y value equal to 6 and plug in a random number for x until you get 6 on both sides. In this case...
6=1x+2
6=1(4)+2
The distance traveled if the fare was $6 is 4km
I hope this helps you! When I was younger I used to use this site for help and now I'm paying it forward!
