$0.35 per mile. Which type of function could model the cost of the taxi ride?
A) Linear
B) Can't be determined
C) Exponential
D) Quadratic

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=.35x+26$

$y=\frac{7}{20}x+26$          .35 = 7/20

The form $y=mx+b$ represents a linear equation. Our equation fits that form, with $m=\frac{7}{20}, b=26$.
