A cell phone plan has a monthly cost that is shown in the table below. What is the correct statement regarding the average rate of change during the 40-minute time of talk?
Total minutes of talk time Monthly cost of cell phone 0 $19.95 10 $20.45 20 $20.95 30 $21.45 40 $21.95 The average rate of change is $0.50, meaning that for each minute of talk time, the monthly bill increases by $0.50. The average rate of change is $0.50, meaning that for every ten minutes of talk time, the bill increases by $0.50. The average rate of change is $0.05, meaning that for each minute of talk time, the monthly bill increases by $0.05. The average rate of change is $0.05, meaning that for every ten minutes of talk time, the bill increases by $0.05.

B
Explain? D:
It was wrong :(
rate of change = 0.50 / 10
So it would be D?
for every 10 minutes the charrge increase by 0.50
No
rate is per minute
try to solve for the slope :) use x = time, y = cost
you know, you have to check it out per 10 there is an increased of 0.50 dollars if that were the case, you have a base price y = 0.05x + 19.95
i'm so confused
Oh wait.... per minute? I'm sorry.
