Will make as the brainliest you are using a taxi cab company that charges a flat fee of $5.00 and an additional $0.50 per mile. Let x represent the number of miles you drive in the taxi and y represent the amount you paid for the ride. Write an equation that can be used to find the amount of money you pay for the taxi ride.

a- standard form
b-slope intercept form

In standard form: x - 2y = -10

In slope intercept form: y = (1/2)x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = total cost

y = flat cost + mileage cost

The flat cost is $5, so you get

y = 5 + mileage cost

The mileage cost depends on the number of miles, x.

1 mile costs $0.50

2 miles cost $0.50 * 2

3 miles cost $0.50 * 3

x miles cost $0.50 * x, or simply 0.5x

Now we add the mileage cost to our expression.

y = 5 + 0.5x

y = 0.5x + 5

In standard form:

0.5x - y = -5

x - 2y = -10

In slope intercept form:

y = (1/2)x + 5

15 batches are the most you can make
