Use the following information about the Austin Cab Company to write an equation in point-slope form.
The driver charged $10.00 for a 4-mile ride
On #3, you described the slope like this: 1.75
do u guys go to connexus
no that was terrible
@:D I do go to connexus
I’m still lost on what’s the answer tho 💀
y'all are so worthless I just wanna pass before 10:59
what did you say you fake hedgehog
To write an equation in point-slope form, we need to know the slope and a point on the line.
We are given the slope, which is 1.75. This means that for every 1 mile ridden, the cost increases by $1.75.
Now, let's identify a point on the line. We are given that the driver charged $10.00 for a 4-mile ride. So, we have the point (4, 10).
Using the point-slope form equation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope, we can substitute the values:
y - 10 = 1.75(x - 4)
This equation, written in point-slope form, represents the relationship between the number of miles ridden (x) and the cost of the ride (y) for the Austin Cab Company.
