I need help with this!!

The question is really asking what the slope (m) of the line is. Here’s the

Slope= the variable m

m=rise/run; m=change in y/change in x

We need to find the rate of how much the taxi driver charges per minute.

Therefore:

We need to pick a precise point on the line ( a precise point is a point with whole number x and y coordinates; no decimals or fractions).

We see that the point (6, 9) is precise.

A rate is a ratio in the form of a fraction that shows the relationship of change between two quantities: a/b.

So, the taxi costs 9 dollars / 6 minutes.

9/6 simplifies 2/3.

And thus, the taxi charges 2 dollars per 3 minutes

So, the answer is 9/6, which can be simplified to the furthest possibility, making it a unit rate.

9/6
