To model the situation where George rents a cab, we need to consider both the fixed pickup charge and the variable cost per mile. The cab company charges
0.25 per mile.

The correct equation that represents this situation is:



where:
- is the total amount George pays,
- is the number of miles traveled.

This equation reflects the fixed cost of
0.25 for each mile driven.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

-

As for the graph, it would be a straight line with a y-intercept at 9 (the fixed pickup charge) and a slope of 0.25 (the cost per mile).
