Ataxi service charges an initial fee of $2.15 then charges $1.68 a mile. write a linear equation to model this situation. a.y = 1.68x + 2.15b.y = 2.15x + 1.68c.c = 1.68x + 2.15yd.c = 2.15x + 1.68y

Initial charge = $2.15

Let  'x' represent the number of miles taxi service charges and the total charges be 'y'.

Charges per mile = $1.68

So charges for x miles =

Total charges = Charges in x miles + initial charges

y = + 2.15

So the answer is option A

Let y represent the total amount charged by the taxi service.

Total charge = fixed charge + variable charge

Given initial fee( fixed charge) =   2.15

Let the taxi travels x miles

Since the rate is $1.68 per mile so if the taxi travels x miles ,then  

the amount incurred =  1.68x

y= 1.68x + 2.15

Hence option A is the correct answer.
