The cost, c(x), for a taxi ride is given by c(x)=2x+3.00, where x is the number of minutes. what does the slope mean for this situation?

Keywords

linear equation, slope, variables

Define the variables

Let

x-------> is the number of minutes

c(x)----> is the cost for a taxi ride in dollars

the linear equation is equal to

In this problem

the slope is equal to

that means

The cost of a taxi ride is for every minute

step-by-step explanation:

to find if any function is an inverse of the other, put the first equation in as x in the next one. then simplify and solve. if at the end you get the statement y = x, then it is an inverse. if you get anything else, it is not.
