Answer:

  c.  $0.08

  fee = $50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two ordered pairs:

  (minutes, charges) = (150, 62) and (175, 64)

The slope of the graph of charges is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (64 -62)/(175 -150) = 2/25 = 0.08

The charge for each minute is $0.08.

__

The y-intercept of the graph can be found from ...

  b = y -mx

  b = 62 -150(0.08) = 62 -12 = 50

The fixed monthly fee is $50.
