  3. Guided Practice - Example 1 A taxi company in Atlanta charges $2.50 for a ride plus $2 for every mile driven. Write and graph the equation that models the taxi company’s total fees. 1. Read the problem. 2. Determine the known quantities. 3-4. Identify the slope and the y-intercept. slope _____ y-intercept ______ Substitute the slope and y-intercept into the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y- intercept. _____________ 1.3.1: Creating and Graphing Linear Equations in Two Variables

  4. Equation: y = 2x + 2.50 Example 1, continued 6. Set up the coordinate plane and identify the independent and dependent variables. Graph the equation using the slope and y-intercept. Plot the y-intercept first and then use the slope to find the second point. 1.3.1: Creating and Graphing Linear Equations in Two Variables
