Question
                A taxi service charges an initial fee of $2.15 then charges $1.68 a mile. Write a linear equation to model this situation. (1 point) Responses Y = 1.68x + 2.15 Y = 1.68 x + 2.15 y = 2.15x + 1.68 y = 2.15 x + 1.68 C = 1.68x + 2.15y C = 1.68 x + 2.15 y C = 2.15x + 1.68y

    To model the taxi service's charges, we need to define our variables. Let's let:
- \( y \) be the total cost of the taxi ride.
- \( x \) be the number of miles driven.
The cost consists of a fixed initial fee of $2.15 and a variable fee of $1.68 per mile. The linear equation that represents this situation can be written as:
\[ y = 1.68x + 2.15 \]
So the correct response is:
**Y = 1.68x + 2.15**
