You will need to rent a computer and the cost will be $30 down and $15 a day. You sign a contract and you must pay the $30 down whether you rent the computer or not. Is this a linear function? Explain. What is the rate of change? What is the practical meaning (in context of the problem) of the rate of change? What is the vertical intercept? What is the practical meaning of the vertical intercept? Write the equation using function notation. What is the practical domain of the function? What is the practical range of the function?

A phone company has a monthly cellular data plan where a customer pays a flat monthly fee of $10 andthen a certain amount of money per megabyte (MB)of data used on the phone. If a customer uses 20 MB,the monthly cost will be $11.20. Ifthe customer uses130 MB, the monthly cost will be $1180. a. Find a linear equation for the monthly cost of thedata plan as a function of x, the number of MB used. b. Interpret the slope and y-intercept of the equation. c. Use your equation to find the total monthly cost if 250 MB are used.
