Answer:

(B, C, E)

Explanation:

Let's evaluate each answer choice:

"The slope of the function is $1.00"

Wrong. The slope is how much one game token costs. It costs $1 per 10 tokens, not 1 token. To find the cost of 1 game token, you would divide 1 by 10, giving you a value of 1/10.

"The y-intercept of the function is $60"

Correct. The initial fee is $60, and this initial fee doesn't change, so it's the y-intercept.

"The function can be represented by the equation y = 1/10x + 60"

Correct. We just mentioned before that the slope is 1/10 and the y-intercept is 60.

"The domain is all real numbers"

Wrong. "All real numbers" also includes negative numbers. However, x represents the number of tokens bought, and you can't buy a negative amount of tokens.

"The range is y >= 60"

Correct. The range represents the total cost of a yearly membership. When you get the membership, you're ALWAYS going to have to pay $60, no matter how many tokens you buy after that.

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The cost for purchase of 0 tokens is $60. This "initial value" is the y-intercept of the function.

The cost for each token is $1.00/10 = 1/10 (dollar), so the slope of the function is 1/10.

The slope-intercept form of the function can be written ...

y = mx + b . . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b

y = 1/10x + 60

__

The minimum value of this function is 60, so the range is y ≥ 60.

The function is defined for all real numbers, but only makes sense for all non-negative integers. So, we cannot claim the domain is all real numbers.
