First of all, we know that the dependent variable represent the total cost of a ride, and the independent variable represent the number miles that given. Also, the question states that “ Write your answer in slope-intercept form, but we need to know what is the slope-intercept form which is really easy.
y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form where m represent the slope and b represent y-intercept.
Next, the problem states that: A cab company charges $3.00 initial fare for stopping for a customer and an additional $0.50 for each mile traveled, so we need to change it to a slope-intercept form which is:
y=0.5x+3 is your final answer. Hope it help!
