Problema Solution
Write a linear equation and show the ordered pairs.
A 2 mile cab ride costs $5.25. A 5 mile cab ride costs $10.50.
Answer provided by our tutors
here the two points are (2,5.25) and (5,10.5)
thus
general equation
(y-5.25)= (10.5-5.25)/(5-2) (x-2)
=> y-5.25=5.25/3 (x-2)
=> y=1.75x+1.75
where, y= cost and x=no of miles
