Question

A cell phone package charges $39 even if 0 minutes are used during the month. Each additional minute of talk time adds $0.07.

Answer 1

Answer: the slope intercept form for this situation is y = 0.07x + 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell phone package charges $39 even if 0 minutes are used during the month. This means that the package has a constant charge of $39.

Each additional minute of talk time adds $0.07. Assuming x additional minutes of talk time is made, the total cost of x additional minutes of talk time would be

0.07x + 39

Let y represent the total cost of x additional minutes, then

y = 0.07x + 39

The equation for the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope

c = intercept.

Comparing with our equation,

The slope is 0.07 and the intercept is 39
