Question

If a taxi charges a $2 pickup fee and $.50/mile how do you write an equation in slope intercept, point-slope, or standard form?

Answer 1

if x = distance and y = money

the y intercept will be 2 and the slope will be 1/0.5 so:


standerd form: -mx + y = b or -2x + y = 1/0.5


slope intercept: y = mx + b or 2x + 1/0.5


point-slope: y=mx+b or y = 2x + 1/0.5


pls note you might have to simplify the slope in these + check it bc it MIGHT be 0.5/1.
