Question 29302: I am so lost and confused with these. Can anyone help?
The monthly cost of a certain long distance is given by the linear function
y = 0.05x + 9.95 where y is in dollars and x is the amount of time in minutes called in a month. Find and interpret the slope and y-intercept of the linear equation. Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Compare the given equation: with the slope-intercept form. where: m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The slope is: 0.05 The slope represents the rapidity (speed) at which your total cost will rise depending on the number of calls per month you make. It's a very gradual slope, rising only 5 units in every 100 units so it's not too costly to make a lot of calls during the month..
The y-intercept is: 9.95 This represents the minimum amount you can pay for telephone service in a month.
