Your “X” axis is “miles”. Your “Y” axis is “dollars”.

At x=0 miles, you spent a total of y=0 dollars (because you haven’t gone anywhere)

At x=1 miles, you spent a total of y=2 dollars (because the taxi company charged 2 dollars for the first mile)

At x=2 miles, you spent a total of y=3 dollars (because the taxi company charged 1 dollar for each succeeding mile)

at x=3 miles, you spent a total of y=4 dollars (because the taxi company charged 1 dollar for each succeeding mile)

at x=4 miles, you spent a total of y=5 dollars (because the taxi company charged 1 dollar for each succeeding mile)

Now you get to play “connect-the-dots”!
