Question

A cab company charges $0.25 per 1 mile as well as a flat fee of $2.25 just for taking a ride in the

cab. If this scenario is represented as a function, what would the y-intercept be?

Answer 1

y - intercept = 2.25

Explanation:

y = mx + c

Where,

y = Total cost

x = additional cost

m = slope

c = y - intercept

y = 0.25x + 2.25

Relating with the above equation,

y - intercept = 2.25

Slope, m = 0.25
