The corresponding dependent variable if you were to travel 4.5 miles can be found by substituting m = 4.5 into the equation c = 0.75m + 4:
c = 0.75(4.5) + 4
c = 3.375 + 4
c ≈ 7.38
Therefore, the corresponding dependent variable would be approximately $7.38 if you were to travel 4.5 miles.
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 corresponding dependent variable be if you were to travel 4.5 miles? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
