Explanation:

That delivery truck driver charges a fixed base price of $6 for 2 miles.

After 2 miles, he charges an additional $2 for every mile and after 6 miles, he charges an additional $4 for every mile.

We need to describe the cost of the delivery truck between 1 mile and 2 miles.

In the given graph x-axis represents the distance in miles and y-axis represents the cost in dollars.
