The cost of a taxi ride is a linear function of the distance traveled. if a 5-mile ride costs $12 and a 9-mile ride costs $14, which equation can be used to find the cost, c, for any distance, m, traveled?
a. c-12 = 1/2 (m-5)
b. c-12 = 2 (m-5)
c. c-9 = 1/2 (m-5)
d. c-9 = 2 (m-5)

The equation used for find cost c for m distance travelled is .

Option (a) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The cost of a taxi ride is a linear function of the distance traveled.

As m represented the distance travelled and c represented the cost .

Thus

(m , c)

As given

If a 5-mile ride costs $12 and a 9-mile ride costs $14 .

(5,12) and (9,14)

Formula

Putting the values in the above

Therefore the equation used for find cost c for m distance travelled is .

Option (a) is correct .

step-by-step explanation:

try remembering the steps

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
