The graph of the function rule C = 0.30m + 1.00 would be a straight line with a positive slope of 0.30. It would start at the y-intercept of 1.00 (when m = 0) and increase by 0.30 for every 1 unit increase in m.
Since Merv’s company will only go a maximum of 40 miles, the graph should only show the points up to that limit. Therefore, a reasonable graph would show the line starting at (0, 1.00) and ending at (40, 13.00), where the cost has increased to $13 for a 40-mile ride.
Merv’s Uber charges passengers $1.00 for a ride, and an additional $0.30 for each mile traveled. The function rule C = 0.30m + 1.00 describes the relationship between the number of miles m and the total cost of the ride C. If Merv’s company will only go a maximum of 40 miles, what is a reasonable graph of the function rule?
