Answer: $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A trolley company charges a fixed amount plus a fee based on the distance traveled.

If y represents cost (dollars) charged by the company for x distance traveled  (miles) .

then [tex]y=mx+c[/tex] represents the total cost where c is the fixed charge and m is the fee for the distance traveled.

From, table we can see when x=0, y=6.

[tex]\\\Rightarrow\ 6=0+c\\\Rightarrow\ c=6[/tex]

Hence, the fixed fee charged by the company is $6.
