Question 251364: Tour company must use a transportation service to shuttle their corporate partners from the airport for a quarterly meeting. Crespo Transportation service charges $24 initially plus $10 per mile for every mile traveled.
If you were to graph this system of linear equations, what is happening "graphically", where the services are changing same rate? explain
Answer by drk(1908)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The $24 is your starting amount just to get the service. Your Y_axis number is 24.
graphed by itself, it would be a horizontal line.
$10 per mile. This is an increasing value. As the number of miles increases, X get bigger, you pay more money. This results in a "positive correlation" or "positive slope". The graph is moving up to the right. Assuming you are graphing them both separately, they would cross at some point called (X, 24).
Hope that helps.
