Answer:

The first option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that when she travels 0 miles, she payed $4.50.

So $4.50 is the flat fee for ordering a taxi.

Point (1,7) means that after traveling 1 mile, she has to pay a total of $7.

The first option is correct.

We can also find out the amount of money per mile.

We know that the flat fee is 4.50, and the total fee for 1 mile is 7, so we can subtract 4.5 from 7

7 - 4.5 = 2.5

That means Fatoumata pays $2.5 per mile.
