It's sort of difficult for me to solve it: A telephone comapny charges $4.95 per month for long distance calls plus $0.05 per minute. The monthly cost c of long distance calls can be described by the equation c = 0.05m + 4.95, where m is the number of minutes. Using this information, find the y-intercept of the graph of the equation. </SPAN>\n" );
