Question

The table below shows the cost of riding in a taxi cab. What is the rate of change?

Answer 1

To find:

The rate of change.

Solution:

From the table, it can be observed that after every 5 miles, the cost increases by $10.

So, the rate of change is given by:

`(10)/(5)\text{ dollars per mile}=2\text{ dollars per mile}`

Thus, the third option is correct.
