Question

A cellular service provider charged a customer $40 for 150 minutes of airtime. The same provider charged another customer $55 for 300 minutes of airtime. What linear model represents the total cost, C, as a function of t, the amount of airtime in minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: C(t) =0.10t+25

Explanation:

you can plug in the information as a slope of a line. (55-40)/(300-150) = 0.10

then enter it into the point slope form with point (150,40)= y-40=0.10(x-150) when done you get y=0.10x+25 which is the answer C(t)=0.10t+25
