Ataxi company charges passengers $1.75 for a ride, no matter how long the ride is, and an additional $0.40 for each mile traveled. the rule c=0.40m+1.75 describes the relationship between the number of miles m and the total cost of the ride c. what is the charge for a 2.7-mile ride?

2.83 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Fixed charges made by the taxi company for a ride =

Additional charge for each mile travelled =

Hence equation for cost is given by

where m is thenumber of miles travelled.

To find out the charge for a 2.7 mile ride substitute m = 2.7

Total cost for 2.7 mile ride is 2.83 dollars

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
