(a)
\The linear equation that relates the monthly charge in
, in dollars, to the number
of kilo-watt hours used in a month,
.
Charge = usage + monthly charge.

.
\ \(c)
\Find the monthly charge for using 200 kilowatt-hours.
\Substitute
in
.



The monthly charge for using 200 kilowatt-hours is $22.65.
\ \(d)
\Find the monthly charge for using 500 kilowatt-hours.
\Substitute
in
.



The monthly charge for using 500 kilowatt-hours is $48.09.
\ \(e)
\The linear equation
.
Slope of the linear function is 0.0848.
\Each additional kW-hr used adds $0.0848 to the bill.
