It was wrong :(

OpenStudy (welshfella):

rate of change = 0.50 / 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be D?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

for every 10 minutes the charrge increase by 0.50

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No

OpenStudy (welshfella):

rate is per minute

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

try to solve for the slope :) use x = time, y = cost

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

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

OpenStudy (animallover8):
