A cab company charges a $4 boarding rate in addition to its meter which is $ ¾ a dollar for every mile

A) What equation represents the rate of this company?

B) Graph the equation that represents the rate of this cab company?

1 answer

A) The equation that represents the rate of this cab company is:

Rate = $4 + ($0.75/mile)

B) To graph this equation, plot a point at (0, 4) representing the $4 boarding rate. Then, draw a line upward with a slope of 0.75. This line represents the additional charge of $0.75 for every mile traveled.
