Question

12. Dominic drives a taxi. He charges a $2 flat fee plus $1.50 per mile.

The table represents f(x), a function that can be used to predict the
total cost of any trip in Dominic's taxi.

Answer 1

The y-intercept represents the flat fee.

Explanation:

The y-intercept on the graph would be the point at which the line cuts across or intercepts the y-axis. At this point, the value of x (miles travelled) would be 0. The y-intercept in this case, would be the flat fee which is given as $2.

At x = 0, f(0) = 2.

The y-intercept represents the flat fee on the graph of f(x).
