Which of the following are identities?

ѕнє ¢αи ∂яινє 132 кιℓσмєтєяѕ

нσρє ι ¢συк∂ нєℓρ

answer-

a. the total cost of a taxi ride includes an initial charge of approximately $3.30

solution-

in the graph,

x axis represents the distance traveled and

y axis represents the total fare

the best fit line intersects the y axis approximately at 3.30 or y-intercept is 3.30. at x=0, i.e when the taxi is still, the value of y or the cost of the fare is 3.30. that means $3.30 is the fixed charge which will be levied along with the other fare.

the slope of the line represent the cost per mile. as the best fit line is straight line, so the price per mile is constant.

during a tunnel construction project, engineers used explosives to excavate partway into a mountain. but due to constraints and environmental concerns, they later introduced a tunnel boring machine (tbm) to excavate the rest of the tunnel. the length and of the completed tunnel (in feet) is based on the number of days since the tbm started working. the length can be calculated using the equation y = 25x + 225. what does the y-intercept represent in this scenario?
