I need help with letter B, please!

The general question on the photo says: a company is hiring a truck driver to deliver the company's product. Truck driver A charges an initial fee of $50 plus $7 per mile. Truck driver B charges an initial fee of $175 plus $2 per mile

Question B: Solve the system of linear equations by graphing. Interpret your solution.

I will give 25 points if someone gets the answer correct right away!

So if you want to fit the y-intercepts or "b", on the y-axis you should go by 25's [0, 25, 50, 75, 100...]

If the x-axis does not have to follow the same pattern (25's), you should go by 5's  [0, 5, 10, 15, 20...]

y = 7x + 50

y = 2x + 175

First I would plot the y-intercepts for each equation, then plot a few points with x = 5, 10, 15      Then draw a straight line.

The point where the two lines meet/cross paths is your solution. It should be (25, 225)  The x-axis is the number of miles, and the y-axis is the total cost. So Truck driver A and B would arrive/be at the same place/meet in 25 miles at the same cost of $225
