Question

A telephone company charges a fixed monthly rate plus a rate per minute of usage. The company charges $135 for 100 minutes of usage and $375 for 500 minutes of usage. An equation can be written to show the relationship between the total minutes used (x) and the total monthly charges (y ). Which of the following best describes the steps to draw the graph of y against x. A) Draw a graph which joins the points (135, 100) and (375, 500) and has a slope = 0.6 B) Draw a graph which joins the points (100, 135) and (500, 375) and has a slope = 0.6 C) Draw a graph which joins the points (100, 135) and (500, 375) and has a slope = 1.67 D) Draw a graph which joins the points (135, 100) and (375, 500) and has a slope = 1.67

Answer 1

Draw a graph which joins the points (100, 135) and (500, 375) and has a slope = 0.6 is the one among the following that can best describe the steps to draw the graph of y against x. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope it helps you.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this question is letter "B. Draw a graph which joins the points (100, 135) and (500, 375) and has a slope = 0.6." The one on the x axis should be the number of minutes and on the other hand, the one on the y axis should be the amount being charged.
