Tahira is having trouble figuring out how the system works. She paid $7.00 for a two-mile ride one day and she paid $24.50 for a nine-mile ride the next day. What are your 2 data points?

Answer 1

(2, 7)

(9, 24.50)

Assuming linear relationship, the slope is ( 24.50 - 7)/(9-2)

= 17.50/7

= 2.50

$2.50 per mile
