a. To express the amount the cab company charges per ride and per mile for the first company, we would need specific information on their pricing structure. Without any details, it is not possible to determine the exact charges.
b. Since there is no specific equation or information given, we cannot write an equation in any form.
c. As there is no equation or information provided, we cannot determine the slope or y-intercept, and therefore cannot discuss their meaning in this context. Additionally, without any pricing details, we cannot determine what one would pay when stepping into the cab.
