Please help Matthew took a cab home from his office. The cab charged a flat fee of $4, plus $2 per mile. Matthew paid $34 for the trip Write an equation to show the number of miles Matthew drove

(34-4)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would subtract the flat fee of 4 dollars from the total ($34) which would give you 30 then you divide 30 by the rate or dollars per mile (2) which would leave you with 15 so he drove 15 miles and if you were to writ this as an equation (as shown above) it would look like this (34-4)/2 where you first subtract (hence the parentheses) then you would divide (hence the / ). I hope you found this helpful :D  

D. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope formula is

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x2,y2) = (4,7)

(x1, y1) = (5,3)

So (7-3)/(4-5) = 4/-1 = -4
