The cost of a taxi ride is 50 cents for each 1 5 mile, , x, and a $2.50 flat fee. Which statement is correct ?

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A linear function in slope intercept form is equal to

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have a linear function between the total cost and the number of miles

Let

y ----> the total cost in dollars

x ----> the number of miles

The slope or unit rate is equal to

The y-intercept is equal to the flat fee

substitute the given values

The linear function that model the situation is
