Question

A premium cab rental company charges a minimum fare of $5 and an additional charge of $2 per mile. Which graph has the most appropriate scales and units for this situation?

Answer 1

It should be a graph that shows the following equation.

y = 2x + 5

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

→Amount Charged by premium cab rental company

Minimum Fare when you sit inside the Cab = $ 5

Amount Charged per Mile = $ 2

Let total Distance traveled by me be x mile and for that Distance covered total amount charged be $ x.

Writing the Statement in terms of equation

→Total Distance Covered = $5+ Total Distance Covered in Mile × Amount Charged per Mile

→→y = 5 + 2 x

This is a linear equation in two variable.
