Question 366550: A 3 min cab ride costs $3.00. A 6 min cab ride costs $4.80. Find a linear equation that models cost c as a function of distance d.
A. c=0.60d+1.20
B. c=1.00d+1.80
C. c=0.80d+1.20
D. d=0.60c+1.80 Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
Using the point-slope model for a linear expression c = mt + b
(3,3.00)(6,4.80)
m = 1.80/3 = .60
c = .60t + b (using (3,3.00) to solve for b
3.00 = .60*3 + b
1.20 = b
c = .60t + 1.20
answer A would be the correct choice
