Answer:

B

Explanation:

Looking at the graph, we see that the x axis represents the number of miles the cars drove, while the y axis represents the total cost for each cab ride based on the number of miles driven.

The point of intersection is the place where the two lines cross. Clearly, the yellow and blue lines cross at (3, 8).

At 3 miles, we see from the blue line that the blue cab charged $8 for the ride. Similarly, at 3 miles, we see from the yellow line that the yellow cab also charged $8 for the ride.

B matches this relationship, so it is correct.

A is wrong because the yellow cab does not cost more than the blue cab at 3 miles; they cost the same $8.

C is incorrect because the point on the blue line at 6 miles and the point on the yellow line at 6 miles are not intersecting.

D is wrong because it totally contradicts the scenario where the two cabs do cost the same at 3 miles.

Hope this helps!
