Answer:
Part 1) Slope-intercept form
Part 2) The slope of 2.20 tells me the rate per mile and the y-intercept of 2.50 tells me the flat fee
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form
where


Part 2) we have that
x -----> represent the number of miles
y ----> represent the total charge in dollars
The slope is
---> unit rate
The y-intercept is
----> initial value or flat fee
therefore
The slope of 2.20 tells me the rate per mile and the y-intercept of 2.50 tells me the flat fee
The equation can still be solved but it should be stated clearly at what value of would the equation be undefined. For instance, you have an expression,
1/x+2
When x is equal to -2, the denominator will be 0 resulting to an undefined solution. The value of x here can be any real number except -2.
Answer:
3x > 37
x > 12.333
Thus, 13 and 15 satisfy
