1 answer

The two representations that are considered to be only partial representations are the verbal description and the graph.

The verbal description explains the monthly fee but does not provide specific numerical values as the table does. The graph indicates the relationship but does not convey specific charges. In contrast, the equation and the table provide complete relationships with specific values.
