A company offers four plans for customers who want to rent DVDs and video games. The cost of the plans can be modeled by a linea

r function that combines a one time membership fee with a per disc rental rate. The table shows the total cost, including membership fees, for a person who rents 1,2 and 5 discs in a month
Discs rented plan A B C D
1. $14. $12. $10. $12
2. $17. $16. $15. $21
5. $26. $28. $30. $48



Which plan has the smallest one-time membership fee?
Plan A
Plan B
Plan C
Plan D

To solve this, we are going to use the slope formula, and the point slope formula.
Slope formula: m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
where
m is the slope.
(x_{1},y_{1})  are the coordinates of the first point.
(x_{2},y_{2})  are the coordinates of the first point.
Point-slope formula: y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

Plan A. Coordinates of the first point: (1,14) (number of discs, cost). Coordinates of the second point: (2,17). Lets replace those values in our slope formula:
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
m= \frac{17-14}{2-1}
m=3
Now that we have the slope, we can use the point slope formula:
y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})
y-14=3(x-1)
y-14=3x-3
y=3x+11
Remember that in a linear equation of the form y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In our model the y-intercept is the membership fee.
Since b=11 in our linear equation, we can conclude that the membership fee is $11

Plan B. Coordinates of the first point (1,12). Coordinates of the second point (2,16).
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
m= \frac{16-12}{2-1}
m=4
y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})
y-12=4(x-1)
y-12=4x-4
y=4x+8
Membership fee: $8

Plan C. Coordinates of the first point: (1,10). Coordinates of the second point: (2,15).
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
m= \frac{15-10}{2-1}
m=5
y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})
y-10=5(x-1)
y-10=5x-5
y=5x+5
Membership fee: $5

Part D. Coordinates of the first point: (1,12). Coordinates of the second point (2,21).
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
m= \frac{21-12}{2-1}
m=9
y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})
y-12=9(x-1)
y-12=9x-9
y=9x+3
Membership fee: $3

We can conclude that the plan that has the smallest one-time membership is <span>Plan D.</span>

Under her cell phone plan, Peyton pays a flat cost of $48 per month and $3 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill at $60.60 pe
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 4.20 gigabyte

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the equation that can be used to determine the the number of gigabytes of data Peyton can use while staying within her budget will be:

48 + 3g = 60.60

3g = 60.60 - 48

3g = 12.60

g = 12.60/3

= 4.20

The number of gigabytes of data is 4.20g
