A.) f(x) = -0.10x-70

B.) f(x) = -0.10x+10

C.) f(x) = 10x-0.10

D.) f(x) = 10x+0.10

B.
There is a 10 cent difference in the cost per minute, which is where the -.10x comes from. There is also a 10 dollar difference in the start up fees, which gives you the +10. 

So, if you were to choose Cell phone company Z, you would lose 10 cents per minute, but save gain 10 dollars at the beginning. -10x+10

Function that represents the difference in cost between company Y and company Z is

\(f(x)=-0.10x+10\)

Given :

Cell phone company Y charges a $10 start up fee plus $0.10 per minute, x.

Lets frame equation for each company

Company Y

Charge y = cost per minute (x) + initial start up fee

\(y=0.10x+10\)

Cell phone company Z charges $0.20 per minute, x, with no start up fee

\(y=0.20x+0\)

Now we write the difference in cost

Subtract the cost to find the difference in cost

\(f(x)=0.10x+10-0.20x\\f(x)=-0.10x+10\)

Function represents the difference in cost between company Y and company Z is

\(f(x)=-0.10x+10\)
