2 CC.8.F.2 eplore Comparing a Table and an Equation Josh and Maggie bu MP3 files from different music download services. With both services, the monthl charge is a linear function of the number of songs downloaded. The cost at Josh s service is described b = 0.50 + 10 where is the cost in dollars and is the number of songs downloaded. Cost of MP3s at Maggie s Music Service Songs, 5 10 15 20 25 Cost ($), 4.95 9.90 14.85 19.80 24.75 A Find the unit rate of each function. Josh: Maggie: B Which function has the greater rate of change? What does that mean in this contet? C Write an equation in slope-intercept form to describe the cost at Maggie s music service. = m + b = + b Substitute for, m, and. = + b Subtract the number that is added to b from both sides. - - = b = + D Describe each service s cost in words using the meanings of the slopes and -intercepts. REFLECT 2a. How much does it cost at each service to download 20 songs? 2b. You are tring to choose between these two music services. How could ou decide which service is better for ou?
