Answer:

$44 + $5x < $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Noah must pay $44 up front, monthly; this is represented by the y-intercept of the straight line graph of the cost function.  He pays $5 per gigabyte.  The total monthly cost to him is

C(x) = $44 + ($5/gigabyte)x which must be less than $50/month.  Symbolically, this is

$44 + $5x < $50, which is the same as the last of the the four given possible answer choices.
