Carla pays $20 per month for her phone service, plus $0.08 for each long

distance minute used. Which of the following correctly describes the slope?

Slope = 0.08 dollars per minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carla pays $20 per month for her phone service, plus $0.08 for each long-distance minute used.

Therefore, if Carla talks for m minutes in the long-distance call, then the situation can be modeled by the equation

C = 20 + 0.08m ... (1), where C is the total cost for her phone service per month.

Here, 20 is the fixed price and 0.08m is the variable price for her phone charges.

This equation (1) represents a straight line with y-intercept as 20 and the slope as 0.08, where m plotted along x-axis and C is plotted along the y-axis. (Answer)
