Answer:
Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Per minute charges by the phone company = $ 0.50
Connection fee (fixed) charged by company = $ 1.0
We have to represent the total cost in terms of y and also explain the slope of the line.
According to the question:
Let the number of minutes be "x" .
And the total cost charged be "y" .
So,
The total cost = (No. of minutes)(Per minute charge) + Connection fee
Re-arranging in term of x and y.
⇒ [tex]total\ cost = (no.\ of\ minutes)(per\ minute\ charge) + connection\ fee[/tex]
⇒ [tex]y=0.50(x)+1[/tex] ...equation (i)
Slope- intercept form: [tex]y=m(x) +b[/tex] m is the slope and b is the y-is intercept.
⇒ Comparing equation (i) with the slope- intercept form.
⇒ [tex]m=0.50[/tex] and [tex]b=1[/tex]
So,
The slope of the line is 0.50 which is also represented by the per minute value of the call.
Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.
