The cost of taking a cab is $4 plus $0.75 per mile. This can be represented using the linear function
c = 0.75m + 4, where c is the cost per trip and m is the distance in miles. Graph the equation on a
coordinate plane. Based on your line, what would the cost be if you were to travel 11 miles?

The line c = 0.75m + 4 is a straight line with y-intercept 4 and slope 0.75 (rise 3 for every run 4). To graph it, plot (0, 4) and another point found by using the slope, e.g. (4, 7) or (8, 10), then draw the line through those points.

For m = 11:
c = 0.75(11) + 4 = 8.25 + 4 = 12.25.

So an 11-mile trip would cost $12.25.
