A2-mi cab ride costs $4.25. a 7-mi cab ride costs $8.50. which equation models the cost y of a cab ride that is x miles?
a. y= -0.85x+2.55
b. y= 0.85x-2.55
c. y= 0.85x+2.55
d. y= -0.85x-2.55

The answer is the option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the number of miles

y------> the cost

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have
