Question

write a function C(t) to represent the cost of a taxicab ride. where the chance includes a fee of 2.50 plus $0.50 for each tenth of a mile t, Then give the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the function. answer

Answer 1

C(t) = 0.50 * t + 2.50

Explanation:

The function C(t) to represent the cost of a taxicab ride can be written as:

C(t) = 2.50 + 0.50 * t

where t is the distance traveled in tenths of a mile.

The slope of the graph of this function is 0.50, which represents the cost per tenth of a mile.

The y-intercept of the graph of this function is 2.50, which represents the fixed fee that must be paid regardless of the distance traveled.

So, the equation of the graph of this function is:

C(t) = 0.50 * t + 2.50
