Slope = 1.75

y-intercept  = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to define variables to model the given equation

Let x be the number of miles

$4 will be constant as it is only one time pickup fee for one trip

While $1.75 will be multiplied by x as each number of mile will be charged

Let y be the cost then

[tex]y = 1.75x+4[/tex]

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

[tex]y= mx+b[/tex]

comparing our equation with the slope-intercept form

The coefficient of x is the slope of the line that will model the given situation

so m = 1.75

and y-intercept = b = 4

Hence,

Slope = 1.75

y-intercept  = 4
