The graph represents the cost of a taxi ride dependent upon the number of miles driven. Write an equation in slope-intercept form. What values are needed to complete the equation? (1 point) The slope-intercept form of the equation for the line is y= x+ .

Answer 1

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, $y=mx+b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept, you will need two key pieces of information:

1. Slope (m): This represents the change in cost per mile driven. You can find the slope by selecting two points on the graph and using the formula: $$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$ where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are the coordinates of the points.

2. Y-intercept (b): This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This value represents the initial cost of the taxi ride before any distance is traveled.

Once you have the slope and y-intercept, you can complete the equation for the line in the form $y=mx+b$.

If you could provide the specific points on the graph or other relevant information (like starting cost or cost per mile), I could help you calculate $m$ and $b$ to complete the equation accurately.
