Cab Companies often charge a flat fee for picking someone up, and then charge an additional fee per mile that's driven. 1. Yellow Cab Company charges $2.85 as a flat rate per ride and then an additional $2.70 per mile.

2. Write an equation in slope-intercept (y = mx + b)

a. what is the flat rate?

b. what variable in the equation is represented by the flat rate?

c. what is the cost per miles?

d. what variable in the equation is represented by the cost per mile?

e. y =

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
