Question

Burro Travel Bureau arranges trips for descending into the Grand Canyon. For each trip, they charge an initial fee of $25, in addition to a $0.10 for each vertical meter they descend.Let y represent the fee (in dollars) of a trip where they descended x vertical meters.Which of the following information about the graph of the relationship is given?

Answer 1

B. slope and y-intercept

Explanation:

The initial fee for the trip = $25

At this stage, they have not started the vertical descent. This means that the value of x is 0.

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0.

So, we are given the y-intercept, $25.

Next, for each vertical meter they descend, they pay $0.10.

For x vertical meters, they will pay an additional $0.10x.

This is the slope of the line.

The slope and y-intercept are the information about the graph of the relationship given.

B is the correct option.
