To represent the total payment \( y \) for food delivery as a function of the number of miles \( x \), you need to account for both the service fee and the charge per mile. The service fee is a fixed amount of $4.99, and the cost per mile is $0.09 for each mile traveled.
The total payment can be expressed as:
\[
y = \text{service fee} + \text{cost per mile} \times \text{miles}
\]
This translates to:
\[
y = 4.99 + 0.09x
\]
So, the correct choice is:
**None of the options A, B, C, or D exactly represent this equation. However, if rephrased to highlight the constant and variable parts, the equation can be correctly interpreted for payment summation.**
