Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.  The initial value (cost) of $125 is paid up front.  It only provides the right to pay $20 each month the gym is used.  

b.  The rate of change (from $125) is $20/month.  It is the monthly cost of membership.

c.  Total cost = $125 + $20x, where x is the number of months you are a active member.

d.  The rate of change is a constant $30/month.

e.  It is direct variation.  The more months, the more it costs at a fixed rate of $20/month.
