A cellular service provider charged a customer $40 for 150 minutes of airtime. The same provider charged another customer $55 for 300 minutes of airtime. What linear model represents the total cost, C, as a function of t, the amount of airtime in minutes?

Y=10x-250

Step-by-step explanation:

We can treat this problem like we are attempting to graph a line from 2 points (hopefully you know how to do that)

the two points are (40,150)(55,300)

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
