What is the rate of change (Slope) of the cost with respect to the number of miles for the Yellow Cab Company?

Answer 1

The slope would be 2

Explanation:

All you do is pick two order pairs: (2,6) and (4,10), then you do y1 - y2, so 10-6 to get 4 then do x1 - x2, so 4 - 2 which is 2, then you divide 4 by 2 to get 2.
