Answer 1

Let the number of mile travelled be x. And total cost of the ride be y.

The given problem can be represented as a linear function.

y = mx +c, where m = 0.75 and c = 2.5

y = 0.75(x) + 2.5  , required function

Given, x = 17 miles

So, y = 0.75(17) +2.5

y= $15.25

Domain of the function: Positive Integer or [0,inf)

Range: [2.5, inf)

Function is continuous.

ordered pair (x,y): (17,15.25)
