Question

The function graphed shows the total cost for a taxi cab ride for x miles.

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly identify the taxi cab ride information provided by the graph.

The slope is _____ . 5, 3, 2.5, or 0.2

The slope represents __________. the total cost of the taxi ride, the total number of miles traveled, the cost per mile traveled, or the initial cost of the ride

Answer 1

The correct answer to this the slope is 2.5. And the slope represents the cost per miles traveled

Explanation:

I just took this test

Answer 2

1. To find for the value of the slope, we need to have the graph. But you forgot to include the graph in your question. So I will just help you find for it.

In the graph, find for any two pairs of x and y. Then use the equation:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

where m is the slope, y2 is the 2nd y, y1 is the 1st y, x2 is the x of the 2nd y, x1 is the x of the 1st y

2. Actually the slope m represents the:

the cost per mile traveled
