Question

A pilot takes a taxi from the airport to the hotel. The taxi driver charges a $2.50 initial charge plus $2.65 per mile. Which equation can be used to find y, the total cost of the trip, if x represents the number of miles of the trip?

a y = 2.65(x + 2.50)
b y = 2.65x-2.50
c y = 2.50x+2.65
d y = 2.65x+2.50

Answer 1

the correct answer is d

Answer 2

d y=2.65x+2.50

Explanation:

The correct answer would be d because y is the total cost with a start value of 2.50 and a slope of 2.65x. Then you would just replace the equation y=mx+b with these values
