\ \(c)
\Find the monthly charge for using 200 kilowatt-hours.
\Substitute in
.
The monthly charge for using 200 kilowatt-hours is $29.43.
\ \(d)
\Find the monthly charge for using 500 kilowatt-hours.
\Substitute in
.
The monthly charge for using 500 kilowatt-hours is $57.75.
\ \(e)
\The linear equation .
Slope of the linear function is 0.0944.
\Each additional kW-hr used adds $0.0944 to the bill.
