Question

the table shows the rates a telephone company charges its customers including the base fee of $2.00 per month. which graph best represents this table?

Answer 1

The last graph (D) represents the correct choice

Here, we want to select the graph that is relevant to the table

What we principally need here is to get the equation of the line

The base fee of $2 per month means the y-intercept of the graph is $2

Now, looking at the table, we can see that there is an increase in cost per number of minutes

This means there is a positive relationship between the charge and the number of minutes

Hence, we can say that the graph has a positive slope

A graph with a positive slope rise from left to right

So we are looking for a graph that breaks out rising to the right from y= 2

The graph that respesents this is the last graph
