We take the ordered pair (movies,cost) and plot them on the graphical plane (and draw a smooth line connecting the points): [x axis is number of movies and y axis is total cost]

b)We can model each linear equation in the form:
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope (change in y by change in x) and b is the y-intercept (y-axis cutting point)
John (Soupstream Streaming)
y = mx + b
slope (m) is 0.5 (since for every x change, there is change of 0.5 in y)
y-intercept (b) is 20 (since graph starts at 20 and 20 is the fixed cost)
Thus,
y = 0.5x + 20
Matt (Mo'data Streaming)
y = mx + b
slope (m) is 3 (since for every x change, there is change of 3 in y)
y-intercept (b) is 0 (since graph starts at 0 and there is no fixed cost for no movies watched)
Thus,
y = 3x
For the first equation, the vertical intercept is "20", it means that even if John doesn't watch any movies, he still needs to pay $20.
For the second equation, we don't have any vertical intercept, it is 0. This means that Matt doesn't have to pay anything for the streaming service if he doesn't watch any movie.
