Q. Susan's cell phone plan includes unlimited texting. The amount she pays for texting each month can be described by the function y=20y = 20, where yy is the number of dollars spent on texting as a function of xx, the number of texts.\newlineWhat is true about the function?\newline(A)It is linear because the rate of change is zero.\newline(B)It is linear because the rate of change is increasing.\newline(C)It is nonlinear because the rate of change is zero.\newline(D)It is nonlinear because the rate of change is increasing.
  1. Analyze Function Characteristics: Step 11: Analyze the function y=20y = 20 to determine its characteristics.
  2. Determine Rate of Change: Step 22: Determine the rate of change of the function.
  3. Identify Function Type: Step 33: Identify the type of function based on the rate of change.
