Q. Burro Travel Bureau arranges trips for descending into the Grand Canyon. For each trip, they charge an initial fee of $25 in addition to $0.10 for each vertical meter they descend.Let y represent the fee (in dollars) of a trip where they descended x vertical meters.Which of the following information about the graph of the relationship is given?Choose 1 answer:(A) Slope and x-intercept(B) Slope and y-intercept(C) Slope and a point that is not an intercept(D) x-intercept and y intercept(E) y-intercept and a point that is not an intercept(F) Two points that are not intercepts
Write Equation: The first step is to write the equation that represents the fee for a trip based on the number of vertical meters descended. The initial fee is $25, and the additional charge is $0.10 per vertical meter. Therefore, the equation is:y=0.10x+25
Identify Slope and Y-Intercept: Next, we identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation. The slope is the coefficient of x, which is 0.10. The y-intercept is the constant term, which is 25. This means that when x is 0 (no vertical meters descended), the fee y is $25.
Determine Given Options: Now, we need to determine which of the given options (A-F) correctly describes the information we have about the graph of the relationship. We have the slope 0.10 and the y-intercept 25. We do not have the x-intercept, nor do we have two distinct points that are not intercepts.
Select Correct Answer: The correct answer is the one that states we know the slope and the y-intercept. This corresponds to option (B).
