I need help pleasee ! Evan is always on the go and lacks the time to search for a parking space in the city. Evan
has most recently started using car-sharing services like Uber and Lyft to get around
Nashville. He maintains a log of each ride to claim the car-sharing charges as a business
expense, as shown below:
Distance (d) in miles Cost (c) in dollars
5 10.25
7 14.75
13 28.25
17 36.17

a. Sketch a graph of the provided data (label
each axis and provide scaling).

b. Write a linear function to show the relationship between the two variables. Use the
variables d for miles and c for dollars.

c. Explain the meaning of each part of your equation in context to the scenario.

e. Whoops! Evan was in quite the rush and forgot to log the miles for his last trip! How
many miles was Evan’s trip if there was a charge of $17.26 on his credit card for the ride-
sharing service?
