Question

Brent was looking at his cell phone bill and saw that the total number of texts he has sent is tracked.


Month Texts
1 120
2 237
3 354
4 471


The function representing Brent's texting per month is f(m) = 117m + 3. What does the 117 represent?



The number of texts at the start

The number of the month when Brent was texting

The number of texts Brent had in total

The number of the additional texts per month

Answer 1

additional texts per month because its the slope, 3 is the number of texts he had at the start because its the y intercept, the number of the month when brent was textingis m, and the total is f(m)

Answer 2

The answer is "The number of additional texts per month." The reason why it's the answer is because if you subtract 237-120 you get 117. If you do 354-237 it = 117. So on and so forth....
