A cellular phone company offers several options for using a cellular telephone.
One option costs the user $4.95 per month plus $0.59 per minute for each minute the phone is used.
cost for one month = 4.95 + 0.59x
Find a linear function for the monthly cost y in terms of the number of minutes x the phone is used. Use your function to find the monthly cost of using the cellular phone for 20 minutes in one month.
cost = 4.95 + 20*0.59 = $16.75
