A phone company charges $0.50 per minute and a connection fee of $1. If you were to represent the total cost y of an x minute call, which of the two fees would be the slope of the line?

Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Per minute charges by the phone company = $ 0.50

Connection fee (fixed) charged by company = $ 1.0

We have to represent the total cost in terms of y and also explain the slope of the line.

According to the question:

Let the number of minutes be "x" .

And the total cost charged be "y" .

So,

The total cost = (No. of minutes)(Per minute charge) + Connection fee

Re-arranging in term of x and y.

⇒

⇒   ...equation (i)

Slope- intercept form:  m is the slope and b is the y-is   intercept.

⇒ Comparing equation (i) with the slope- intercept form.

⇒  and  

So,

The slope of the line is 0.50 which is also represented by the per minute value of the call.

Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.

you said it was in the question

~courtney

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
