Is (a' n b') = (a n b)' ?

well it says right there your brother is 13; "your age". so lets keep it simple. you are 13 years old and there is no way to put this into any kind of equation without wanting to tear your hair out. who came up with this?

answer-

a. the total cost of a taxi ride includes an initial charge of approximately $3.30

solution-

in the graph,

x axis represents the distance traveled and

y axis represents the total fare

the best fit line intersects the y axis approximately at 3.30 or y-intercept is 3.30. at x=0, i.e when the taxi is still, the value of y or the cost of the fare is 3.30. that means $3.30 is the fixed charge which will be levied along with the other fare.

the slope of the line represent the cost per mile. as the best fit line is straight line, so the price per mile is constant.
