Answer: y=0.10x+25

Slope=0.10

Y-int=25

Explanation:

0.10 is a changing amount

25 is a constant, no matter how much he uses his phone, he always pays $25.

Plug 45 in for Y:

45=0.10x+25

-25. -25

Subtract 25 and 45

20/0.10=0.10x/0.10

Isolate variable

X=200

Sam can use 200 Minutes this month.
