The correct option is B.
From the information given in the question, we can see that only the rich in the society had telephone in their homes during the time of the said presidential election. Thus, the presidential candidate that was ahead in telephone polls was actually getting in touch with the rich only; he was not getting through to the larger part of the society, who are poor. Since both the poor and  the rich are going to vote in the presidential election, it means that Dewey campaigned to only a subset of the society, that was why he was defeated during the election.

Carla pays $20 per month for her phone service, plus $0.08 for each long
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Slope = 0.08 dollars per minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carla pays $20 per month for her phone service, plus $0.08 for each long-distance minute used.

Therefore, if Carla talks for m minutes in the long-distance call, then the situation can be modeled by the equation  

C = 20 + 0.08m ............ (1), where C is the total cost for her phone service per month.

Here, 20 is the fixed price and 0.08m is the variable price for her phone charges.

This equation (1) represents a straight line with y-intercept as 20 and the slope as 0.08, where m plotted along x-axis and C is plotted along the y-axis. (Answer)
