A 5-mile cab ride costs $9.30. A 11-mile cab ride costs $17.70. Find a linear equation that models cost c as a function of distance d.

1 answer

Treat the data as two ordered pairs (5,930) and (11,1770) of the form (d,c)

take the slope, then find the equation in the form
c = md + b ( just like y = mx + b)
