When visiting baltimore, md, you need to rent a taxi to get from your hotel to the national aquarium. the taxi company charges a flat fee of $3.00 for using the taxi and $0.75 per mile. write an equation in slope- intercept form that models this situation.

The slope- intercept form this situation is given by y = 0.75x + 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope- intercept is given by

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope, c is the y intercept .

As given

When visiting Baltimore, MD needs  taxi to get from your hotel to the National Aquarium.

The taxi company charges a flat fee of $3.00 for using the taxi and $0.75 per mile.

Let us assume that the total amount charge by the taxi be y .

Let us assume that the number of miles travelled by the taxi be x.

Than

Total amount charge by taxi = Amount charge by the taxi per miles + Flat free charge .

y = 0.75x + 3

(Here m = 0.75 and c = 3)

Therefore the slope- intercept form this situation is given by y = 0.75x + 3 .
