Answer 1

The correct statement that represents the meaning of each part of the function $ y = 99x + 15 $ is:

y is the total cost, x is the number of months of service, $99 is the service charge per month, and $15 is the installation fee.

In this model:

$ y $ represents the total cost after $ x $ months of service.
The $15 represents the one-time installation fee.
The $ 99 $ coefficient indicates that there is a monthly service charge of $99.

So the correct interpretation of the components is that $ y $ is the total cost, $ x $ is the number of months of service, $15 is the installation fee, and $99 is the monthly service charge.
