Step-by-step explanation:

A. Take two pairs of points:

  • (120, 40) and (140, 50)

Find the rate of change:

  • (50 - 40)/(140 - 120) = 10/20 = 0.5

This is the rate, $0.50 per minute

B. Take one pair of points (120, 40) to show the relationship between number of minutes and the cost:

  • y - 40 = 0.5(x - 120)
