Cost at AT&T = Can you write the general steps out algebraically? Cost at Verizon = Cost of Data ($) Cost of everything else ($) Cost of Data ($) Cost of everything else ($)

What is the cost of 1 GB of data from AT&T?

Lets say that someone asked you to calculate the cost of a 100 GB data plan (assuming it fit this pattern) How would you calculate the cost at Verizon? How would you calculate the cost at AT&T?

Linear Functions
Graph Both Sets of Data on this Graph Make sure to draw and label your axes Think about the interval before you start writing it Graph one set of data at a time, draw the line (using a ruler) and label it.

Do the plans ever cost the same amount for the same amount of data? Mark that point on the graph.

Which plan is a better deal?
