Answer:
y=2.75x+7.5 , 10 miles

Explanation:

Given

The company charges $2.75 per mile

The total charge is $29.50

Also, x represents the number of miles and y represents the total cost of the cab ride

Assume extra charge be c

for 8 miles, the charge is

$\Rightarrow 29.50=2.75* 8+c\\\Rightarrow c=\$7.5$

The slope-intercept form of the information is

$\Rightarrow y=2.75x+7.5$

for $35 charge, miles covered

$\Rightarrow 35=2.75x+7.5\\\Rightarrow 2.75=27.5\\\Rightarrow x=10\ \text{miles}$
