Math Problem Statement
Solution
Here's the graph of the function representing the cost of a taxicab ride as a function of distance from the airport. The red point on the graph at indicates the cost for a ride to a hotel 8 miles away from the airport, which is $23.50.

Here are some related questions you might consider:
- How would the cost function change if the per-mile rate increased?
- What would the intercept represent in a real-life scenario?
- How would you calculate the cost for a round trip?
- Can you find the distance if the total cost is given, say $50?
- How do variations in flat rates affect the overall cost function?
Tip: When analyzing a linear cost function like this, consider the slope and intercept for insights into variable and fixed costs respectively.
