Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't really say what you need to calculate but let me try to help out.

From the question, we are informed that an airport shuttle service charges $15 plus $1.15 per mile and that an equation is written as y=mx+b, where y is the cost for x miles.

The equation can be expressed as:

y = 15 + 1.15x

where,

15 = y intercept and this is the initial fixed cost

1.15 = slope and this is the cost per mile

x = number of miles
