Joe’s Cab Service charges $3.00 flat fee and $0.50 per mile. Part A: Identify the rate of change.

Part B: Write an equation for the total cost, C, of going m, miles

Part C: How many miles will you travel if you pay the cab service a total of $7.00? Show your work.

Part D: If you were to graph this equation, describe what your graph would look like or how you would graph.

10+4√2 is the answer. i dont have the time to explain.

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft
