Cab companies often charge a flat fee for picking up someone and then an additional fee per mile driven.
The city of Charlotte NC, charges $2.50 fee and $2.50 per mile for each cab ride
Write an equation in point-slope form to represent the amount charged, C, for m number of miles by the company in Charlotte. (Hint: Go to Desmos and convert the equation you created in #1 to a table. Use a point from the table)
The equation in point-slope form representing the amount charged, C, for m number of miles by the company in Charlotte is:
C = 2.50 + 2.50m
Using a point from the table generated in Desmos, let's say for example, when m = 5 miles, C would be:
C = 2.50 + 2.50(5)
C = 2.50 + 12.50
C = 15
So, for a 5-mile cab ride, the amount charged would be $15.
