Check my answer?

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.

What is your answer?

OpenStudy (ranga):

Not a bar graph. An actual x-y plot like a straight line will be the way to go here. Bar graphs can be used when the costs are fixed. Here a couple of companies charge by the text which means the cost varies depending on the number of texts and therefore not suitable for bar graphs.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing at first. The rates messed with me.
