Question

Spencer owns a taxi cab company. He charges customers a base fee of $5 and an extra $2 for each mile traveled. If F represents a customer's fare (in dollars) and d represents the distance traveled (in miles draw a graph representing the relationship between F and d​

Answer 1

See below ↓

Explanation:

Given :

• Base fee = $5
• Per extra mile = $2

Solving :

• With F as the total customer fare and d is the distance covered the equation will be :-
• F = 2d + 5
• In terms of x and y, it can be written as :
• y = 2x + 5
• Graph is given below

Answer 2

Let F = customer's fare (in dollars)

Let d = distance traveled (in miles)

Given:

• Base fee = $5
• Charge per mile = $2 per mile

Creating an equation from given information:

F = 2d + 5

This is a linear equation, with slope of 2 and y-intercept of (0, 5)
