Question

Cab companies often charge a flat fee for picking someone up
and then charge an additional fee per mile driven. The Yellow Cab
Company charges $2.50 for pick up and $2.20 per mile.
. 2. What do the slope and y-intercept mean in the context of the problem?
Mark only one oval.
A. The slope of 2.50 tells me the flat fee and the y-intercept of 2.20 tells me the rate per mile.
B. The slope of 2.50 tells me the rate per mile and the y-intercept of 2.20 tells me the flat fee.
C. The slope of 2.20 tells me the rate per mile and the y-intercept of 2.50 tells me the flat fee.
D. The slope of 2.20 tells me the flat fee and the y-intercept of 2.50 tell me the rate per mile

B. Austin Cab Company charges $2.50 per mile
C. Austin Cab Company charges a flat rate of $2.40
D. Austin Cab Company charges a flat rate of $2.50

Answer 1

#2
Charge = 2.2x + 2.50 , where x is the number of miles

comparing this to y = mx + b, you know that m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

How does this fit in with your given choices?

Make the same analysis for #5 , you know how to find the slope.
