A taxi charges an initial fee of $1.50 plus $2.00 per mile.What equation can be used to find the total cost in dollars,y for a trip that is x miles?

Respuesta :

The initial fee being 1.50 and cost per mile being 2.00
We would have to use y=mx+b
The equation would look like this
Y=2x+1.50

The total cost is an illustration of a linear function.

The total cost in dollars in [tex]\mathbf{y = 1.50 + 2x}[/tex]

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Initial\ Fee = 1.50}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Rate = 2.00}[/tex]

Let x represent the number of miles, and y represent the total cost.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y = Initial\ Fee + Rate \times x}[/tex]

This given

[tex]\mathbf{y = 1.50 + 2.00 \times x}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 1.50 + 2x}[/tex]

Hence, the total cost in dollars in [tex]\mathbf{y = 1.50 + 2x}[/tex]
