MathAlgebra I
A phone company advertises a new plan in which the customer pays a fixed amount of $25 each month for unlimited calls in the country and .10 cents for international calls.
LevelFind a rule for the monthly payment.A. y = .10 + 25x B. y = 25 +.10x C. y = 25 - .10x D. y = .10 - 25x
Pre-APSame question. No multiple choice answers.Write a rule; Create a table; Graph the rule, & explain what (0,25) point means.
y = 25 +.10x
When the customer makes zero calls, they pay a base rate of $25 for the plan.

?
Why choose so early?◆ Having a plan early allows the
opportunity to take advantage of all the opportunities that exist in Humble ISD.
◆ Choosing a path early does not “lock” students in to that path. They can change their mind!
◆ Exploring options early gives students a chance to figure out what they like and what they don’t.
◆Each college has specific admission requirements.
◆ It is VERY important for parents and students to check the admission requirements for any college a student may be interested in attending.
