Question

The charges for a taxi ride are an initial charge of $2.45 and $0.85 for each mile driven. (a)Write a formula for the charge y for a taxi ride as a linear function of the distance traveled x. y= (b)What is the meaning of the slope of this linear function? The slope indicates how much the cost changes with each additional mile. The slope indicates the initial distance the taxi drives before the cost begins to increase. The slope indicates the speed of the taxi. The slope indicates how much the distance changes with each additional dollar. The slope indicates the initial charge of the taxi. (c) What is the cost of a 6-mile trip? $ What is the cost of a 15-mile trip? $ (d) Suppose that you have only $20. How far (in miles) can you go in the taxi? (Assume that you will give a $3 tip out of the $20 you have. Round your answer to one decimal place.) ______ mi
