Answer:

(0,20)

Explanation:

1) we can represent the situation as coordinates

lets have # of texts be "x" variable

lets have bill be "y" as the y variable is always the dependant variable and the cost of the phone bill is dependant upon the number of texts so

y=mx+b-slope-intercept form

coordinates: (50,25) and (100,30)

slope: (30-25)/(100-50)

5/50=1/10

hence slope=1/10

y=1/10x+b

substitute in a coordinate pair into this equation

25=50*1/10+b

25=5+b

b=20

hence y intercept is (0,20)
