Answer:

Latisha rode 16 rides

Explanation:

Look at picture attached. Have a blessed night!

Just slope intercept formula (y=mx+b). X represents the number of rides so you will need to myltiply that by $2.50. $9 is a one time fee so that would be of the b of the equation. That all equals the total Latisha piaid, $49. Then solve like so.
