Jamal Vargas · Answer 1

y = 0.50x + 3.50

Melissa · Answer 2

y = 0.5x + 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The y - intercept (boarding fee) is what the price is starting as. It basically is saying that once you sit in that cab, you are paying $3.50. Then, per mile, you have to pay 50 cents added onto that $3.50. So, your slope is the 50 cents.

I don't really know if that explantation made sense but I'm almost positive my answer is right.
