Question

The yearly cost in dollars, y, at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y = y equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction x plus 60.x + 60 for a member and y = y equals StartFraction 1 Over 5 EndFraction x. x for a nonmember. Explain how the graph of a nonmember’s yearly cost will differ from the graph of a member’s yearly cost.

Answer 2

The fractions aren't entirely clear, a picture might be better in this instance, but typically you might want to be looking at the y-intercept of each line (equation), so the initial upfront cost of each option, as well as the rate which will be payed over time.

It appears though that the membership has some upfront cost but the rate is lower, for a non-member there is no upfront cost but the rate is higher. You can do some number analysis in your explanation to show more explicitly how they differ.
