The cost of a taxi ride is 5 dollars plus 50 cents per mile. write an algebraic explanation that models the cost of a taxi ride of m miles

Step-by-step explanation:

I will call the total cost of the ride by the letter , and the number of miles (acording to the problem) is .

For each mile 0.5 cents are charged, so if m miles are traveled, will be charged for those miles.

Then the total cost of the taxi ride is

the 5 in the equation is because the taxi ride is 5 dollars initially, and then the 0.5*m is the cost for the miles traveled.

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
