1) Cab companies often charge a flat fee for picking someone up and then charge an additional fee per mile driven. The Yellow Cab Company charges $2.50 for pick up and $2.20 per mile.
Write an equation to represent this situation in slope-intercept form.


2) What does the y-intercept mean in this situation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Y=2.2x+2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept in this situation is the 2.50 pick up fee.

Answer:

y = 2.20x + 2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

in this situation, y is the total

2.20x represents the $2.20 in 1 mile and x is however many miles is driven.

the y intercept is 2.50 it will always be the same. 2.50 is the starting fee which you must pay no matter how far you travel.

hope this helps :)
