The table is an illustration of a linear function.

The description of the charges is: A)  The ride requires a $14 initial fee, plus 50 cents per mile driven

The base fee is the charges, when the number of miles is 0

From the table;

y = $14, when x = 0

So, the base fee is $14

Next, we calculate the slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

From the table, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{16.5 - 14}{5-0}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{2.5}{5}[/tex]

[tex]m = 0.5[/tex]

The above means that:

The cost per mile is $0.5 (i.e. 50 cents)

Hence, the description of the charges is: A)  The ride requires a $14 initial fee, plus 50 cents per mile driven
