By your cell phone contract, you pay a monthly fee plus some money for each minute you use the phone during the month. In one mo

nth, you spent 290 minutes on the phone, and paid $22.25. In another month, you spent 360 minutes on the phone, and paid $24.00.
Let x be the number of minutes you talk over the phone in a month, and let y be your cell phone bill for that month. Use a linear equation to model your monthly bill based on the number of minutes you talk over the phone.
a. This linear model's slope-intercept equation is_____________.
b. If you spent 140 minutes over the phone in a month, you would pay________________ .
c. If in a month, you paid $26.25 of cell phone bill, you must have spent ______________minutes on the phone in that month.

Answer:

(a) y = 0.025x+15

(b) 18.5 minutes

(c) 450.4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

290\ minutes = \$22.25

360\ minutes = \$24.00

Solving (a): Determine the linear equation

First, we need to calculate the slope (m)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (290,22.25)

(x_2,y_2) = (360,24.00)

So, we have:

m = \frac{24.00 - 22.25}{360 - 290}

m = \frac{1.75}{70}

Multiply through by 100

m = \frac{1.75 * 100}{70 * 100}

m = \frac{175}{7000}

Next, is to calculate the equation of the line using:

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Recall that:

(x_1,y_1) = (290,22.25)

m = \frac{175}{7000}

y - 22.25 = \frac{175}{7000}(x - 290)

y - 22.25 = \frac{175x}{7000} - \frac{175}{7000} * 290

y - 22.25 = \frac{175x}{7000} - \frac{50750}{7000}

Add 22.25 to both sides

y = \frac{175x}{7000} - \frac{5075}{700}  + 22.25

y = \frac{175x}{7000} + \frac{-5075 + 15575}{700}

y = \frac{175x}{7000} + \frac{10500}{700}

y = 0.025x+15

(b) Solve for y when x = 140

y = 0.025x+15

Substitute 140 for x

y = 0.025 * 140 + 15

y = 3.5 + 15

y = 18.5

(c) Solve for x when y = 26.25

y = 0.025x+15

Substitute 26.25 for y

26.25 = 0.025x + 15

Solve for 0.025x

0.025x = 26.26 - 15

0.025x = 11.26

Solve for x

x = 11.26/0.025

x = 450.4\ minutes
