To find the equation of this line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is its slope and b is its y-intercept), we naturally need the slope and the y-intercept. We can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 4) so our y-intercept is 4, and the line rises 4 along the y-axis for every 2 it runs along the x-axis, so its slope is 4/2 = 2. With this in mind, we can write the line's equation as
y = 2x + 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Charging by the quarter mile is for purpose of making that particular taxi service seem cheaper than the others when they post a per mile charge. If this taxi company is charging .50 per 1/4 mile, they are charging $2 per mile. So we will base our equation on the per mile charge, not the per quarter-mile charge. If x is the number of mile driven (our uknown), and we have a flat fee of $2.50 regardless of how many miles we are driven, the cost function in terms of miles is
C(x) = 2x + 2.50
If we are driven 5 miles, then
C(5) = 2(5) + 2.50 so
C(5) = 10 + 2.50 and
C(5) = $12.50
It would cost $12.50 to be driven 5 miles
