Starting Value (y-intercept):
Rate of Change (cost per hour):
Interpretation & Modeling
1. What does the origin point (0, 0) represent in the context of parking?
2. If the parking rate is $2 per hour, what is the cost for 5 hours?
3. Write an equation relating total cost (y) to time in hours (x):
Grid range: x ∈ [0, 10], y ∈ [0, 10]

Base Fare / Pickup Fee (at 0 mi):
Rate of Change (cost per mile):
Interpretation & Modeling
1. What does the initial value (or cost at 0 miles) represent for a taxi ride?
2. If the taxi charges $2 per mile, what is the total cost for a 4-mile ride?
3. Write an equation relating total cost (y) to distance in miles (x):
Grid range: x ∈ [0, 10], y ∈ [0, 10]
