Sam wants to compare surf board rental companies while he is on spring break. Catch-a-Wave has a flat rate of $60 for all day. Long Board has no initial charge, but it is $15 per hour. Beach Rentals only charges $5 per hour, but it has an initial charge of $30.

Explain to Sam how he can graph these surf board rental charges and, describe what key features of the graphs he should consider when making a decision.
