I really need help guys!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Emma wants to compare some cell phone plans by graphing their cost per text message. Mobilama charges a flat rate of $30 for unlimited texts. Celly-On-The-Go has no set-up charge, but it does charge $0.10 per text. Ringit Wireless only charges $0.05 per text, but it has an account charge of $15. Explain to Emma how she can graph these cell phone plans and describe what key features of the graphs she should consider when making a decision.

where are you stuck? can you graph either of the equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like, I don't have to actually graph it. I just have to explain how I would!

OpenStudy (ankit042):

k so if you look closely one is a flat price rate in second you pay based on how much you use so constant slope and third one is slope+intercept

OpenStudy (ankit042):

any of this makes sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, totally :)

OpenStudy (ankit042):

k great!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand that part now! Am I missing anything else?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

idk why don't you graph it as well then I can be sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't have a graph thingy haha sorryyy but I appreciate your help :)

OpenStudy (ankit042):

make a rough one using the draw tool here if you want!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, but can you explain to me what you meant by the "third one"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to put this all into well written sentences ahah

OpenStudy (ankit042):

sure you give the graph a try and then I will give my feedback
