Ineeddo not add an answer just for points,

i choose the 2 companies;
yellow cab nyc taxi; $3.00 to the mta || base fare + $2.50 for 25 units

cargo taxi; $40 per hour + 50 cents per 1/5 mile. i think, this is a bit difficult. ; --;

cab companies often charge a flat fee for picking someone up and then charge an additional fee per mile driven. pick a u. s. city and research the rates of two different cab companies in that city. find companies that charge different amounts per mile and have different flat fees. if you have trouble finding this information for two companies, you can make up what you think would be reasonable prices for a cab's flat rate and a cab's rate per mile.

task 1

a. for the first company, express in words the amount the cab company charges per ride and per mile.

b. write an equation in slope-intercept, point-slope, or standard form. explain why you chose the form you did.

c. what do the slope and y-intercept mean in the context of this problem? hint: what do you pay when you step into the cab?
