    As ordered pairs (g, C) where g is the number of games and C is the cost

    (5, 20.50) and (9, 28.50)

    the slope M = (28.50 - 20.50) / (9-5)

    = 8/4

    = 2

    So the slope M=$2 per game

    Using (5, 20.50)

    The intercept B = y - m * g

    = 20.50 - 2 * 5

    = 20.50 - 10

    = 10.50

    So the fixed base cost, or FLAT RATE is $10.50.

    That is if they played ZER0 games, they still have

    to pay $10.50 just to get in.

    The linear function is C (g) = 2*g + 10.50
