Use your pencil as a Vertical Line and place it at the left side of the graph.
The Vertical Line crosses the graph in 2 or more locations, therefore this graph is just a RELATION.

25. Remember…functions are equal to y. y = C(m). Use y = mx + b.
Yellow TAXI Cab Co. charges a $10 pick-up fee and charges $1.25 for each mile. Write a cost function, C(m) that is dependent on the miles, m, driven.
Remember…functions are equal to y. y = C(m). Use y = mx + b.
The slope is the same as the rate! The y intercept (b) is the starting point or initial cost.
The $10 pick-up fee is a one time charge or initial cost. b = 10
The $1.25 for each mile is a rate. m = 1.25
Replace y with C(m) and x with m.
