Question 12345 of 5

Question 1 of 5

A taxi company charges a total fare that is a linear function of the number of miles traveled. One ride of miles costs \1310\. If represents the total fare in dollars and represents the number of miles, which equation models this relationship?

Explanation

Use the two points given by the rides: and . First find the slope:

Then use with :

so . Therefore the linear model is

Concept summary

To write a linear equation from two points, find the slope from the rate of change and then substitute one point to determine the -intercept.

Question 2 of 5

A line passes through the points and . Which equation is equivalent to the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?

Explanation

First find the slope:

So the line has the form . Substitute one of the given points, such as :

Therefore, the slope-intercept form is

which is equivalent to the equation of the line.

Concept summary

To write a linear equation in slope-intercept form, find the slope from two points, then substitute one point into to solve for the -intercept.

Question 3 of 5

On a coordinate plane, a line crosses the -axis at and also passes through the point . Which equation represents this line?

Explanation

The line passes through , so its -intercept is . That means the equation must have the form . Next, use the two given points to find the slope:

So the equation is

Concept summary

To write an equation from graph information, identify the -intercept and compute the slope from two points, then use slope-intercept form .

Question 4 of 5

The graph of the line passes through the point . Which statement must be true?

Explanation

Since the line is , substitute the point to find :

So the equation of the line is . Checking the statements, when , the value of is

so is on the line. That statement must be true.

Concept summary

To analyze a linear graph from partial information, first determine the slope or intercept from the given equation and point, then test each statement against the resulting line.

Question 5 of 5

A bike path rises at a constant rate from street level to a bridge. On a coordinate grid, the path begins at street level at and reaches the bridge at . Which equation represents the line that models the bike path?

Explanation

First find the slope of the line through and :

So the equation has the form . Substitute the point :

so . Therefore, the equation is

Concept summary

To write a linear equation from two points, find the slope using change in over change in , then substitute one point to solve for the -intercept.
