The graph below shows the distance, D, in miles, a car travels over time, t, in hours. The function can be represented by D(t)=mt+b. Which statement correctly describes the meaning of the parameters m and b in this context?
Am represents the initial distance from the starting point, and b represents the speed of the car.
Bm represents the speed of the car, and b represents the initial distance from the starting point.
Cm represents the total distance traveled, and b represents the total time.
Dm represents the time it takes to travel one mile, and b represents the maximum distance.
The graph below represents the cost of a taxi ride, where y is the total cost and x is the number of miles traveled. What does the slope of the line represent?
