The cost of a taxi ride is 5 dollars plus 50 cents per mile. write an algebraic explanation that models the cost of a taxi ride of m miles

Step-by-step explanation:

I will call the total cost of the ride by the letter , and the number of miles (acording to the problem) is .

For each mile 0.5 cents are charged, so if m miles are traveled, will be charged for those miles.

Then the total cost of the taxi ride is

the 5 in the equation is because the taxi ride is 5 dollars initially, and then the 0.5*m is the cost for the miles traveled.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

answer: 0,6

step-by-step explanation:

this would make it the y intercept.
