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
