Question

Help please. Just need to answer 29-31 then I’m done. Thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

29. See table below

30. See attached graph

31. The slope is m= 0.10

The slope represent the cost for every additional call minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost is $0.5  first minute and $0.10 for any additional minutes

If c is the total cost of a call that last t minutes then;

c= 0.10t + 0.5-----where t is the time the call lasted

29. Use the equation above to create the table as;

t {x}            c{y}

1                  0.6

2                 0.7

3                 0.8

4                 0.9

5                 1.0

6                 1.1

The graph of this plot is as attached , where the coordinates are

{1,0.6} , {2,0.7} ,{3,0.8} ,{4,0.9} ,{5,1.0}, {6,1.1}

The slope can be found using the formula;

m=Δy/Δx

m= 1.1 - 0.6 / 6-1

m= 0.5 / 5 = 0.10

The slope represent the cost for every additional call minute.
