A cab company charges a $4 boarding rate in addition to its meter which is $ ¾ a dollar for every mile
A) What equation represents the rate of this company?
B) Graph the equation that represents the rate of this cab company?
A) The equation that represents the rate of this company is:
Total Cost = $4 + ($0.75)(Miles)
B) To graph this equation, you would plot the total cost on the y-axis and the number of miles on the x-axis. The y-intercept would be $4, as this is the fixed boarding rate. The slope of the line would be $0.75, as this is the rate per mile.
