Answer 2

@Vocaloid idk

Answer 3

which number is being multiplied to the variable r?

Answer 4

1.50

Answer 5

good, since this number is being multiplied to the variable, this is our slope

this tells us that each ride costs $1.50

Answer 6

so that's the meaning of the slope in this problem?

Answer 7
