Joseph's taxi charges $10.00 for the initial service of any drive. Then, the fee for each mile is $0.75. Which type of function is represented by this situation?

1) Linear
2) Exponential
3) Quadratic
4) Absolute value

Justify your answer.

The function representing Joseph's taxi charges, which includes a $10.00 initial service fee plus $0.75 per mile, is a linear function. This is due to its constant rate of change and its representation as a straight line on a graph with the equation C = 10 + 0.75m. ;

Joseph's taxi charges create a linear function because the cost increases by a constant amount per mile after a flat initial fee. The cost can be expressed as C = 10 + 0.75m, where C is total cost and m is miles driven. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: Linear.
