Respuesta :

We can use the first and the last point of the table to find the average rate of change during the 40-minute talk time.

At t=0, the charges are $ 9.95
at t=40, the charges are $12.75

Average rate of change from t=0 to t=40 can be calculated as:

[tex] \frac{12.75-9.95}{40-0} =0.07[/tex]

This means, the average rate of change is $0.07, meaning that for each minute of talk time, the monthly bill increases by $0.07. (Option B)
