Answer:

Explanation:

A taxi charges a base fee of 3.00 and 0.15 for every mile. This is a linear equation:
y=mx+b

meaning....

The B or the base of this would be the 3.00$ since you already need to pay it regardless.


The mx part of this would be the 0.15 per mile, representing it as 0.15x, the x would be the per mile that is filled in depending on the mile.

The correct equation would be: y= 0.15x+3.00
