Write a function to describe the following scenario.
A taxi driver charges a $5 flat fee to
enter the car and $0.50 per mile.
What is the total cost of a taxi ride?
y = [?]x + [?]

$0.50 will be the coefficient for the variable x since the amount changes based on how many miles you ride. $5 will be the amount you are charged just for getting into the taxi and doesn't change depending on how many miles you go.

[tex]y=0.50x+5[/tex]

I used x = 4 for the number of miles travelled.

[tex]y=0.50(4)+5[/tex]

[tex]y=2+5[/tex]

[tex]y=[/tex] $7 total cost
