the monthly cost (in dollars) of a long-distance phone plan is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes). the monthly cost for 45 minutes of calls is $14.40 and the monthly cost for 102 minutes is $19.53. what is the monthly cost for 66 minutes of calls?

Sagot :

The monthly cost for 66 minutes of calls will be $15.84.

Monthly cost is the payment or the bill amount that needs to be paid at the end of the month.

The monthly cost (in dollars) of a long-distance phone plan is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes)

The monthly cost for 45 minutes of calls = $14.40

The monthly cost for 102 minutes = $19.53

The above values can be paired in groups so as to satisfies the coordinates of a linear function

(45,14.40)  and (102,19.53)

Finding the slope of the graph using these points

slope, m=Δy/Δx

m=Δy=19.53 - 14.40 = 5.13

Δx=102 - 45 = 57

m = 5.13/57 =0.09

Finding the equation of the linear function using m = 0.09, and point (45,14.40)

m=Δy/Δx

0.09=y-14.40/x-45

0.09(x-45)=y-14.40

0.09x-4.05=y-14.40

0.09x-4.5+14.40=y

y=0.09x + 9.9

So for 66 minutes, the cost will be;

x = 66, y = ?

y=0.09*66 + 9.9

y=5.94+9.9 = $15.84

The monthly cost for 66 minutes of calls is $15.84.
