Question

A limo company charges a base rate of $35 and $2.00 per mile. Which equation shows the total cost of a ride in the limo? a. y=35x+2 b. y=2x+35c. y=2x-35 d. 2x+35y=2

Answer 1

Given data:

The given base rate is c= $35.

The given rate is m=$2.00 per mile.

The expression for the equation is,

`y=mx+c`

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

`y=2x+35`

Thus, the equation of total cost is y=2x+35, so option (b) is correct.
