Monthly cost of cell phone for 0 minutes is $19.95 and for 40 minutes of talk is $21.95. 

It means that average rate of change ( increase of monthly cost for each minute of talk time ) is: ARC = ( 21.95 - 19.95 ) / ( 40 - 0 ) = 2.00 / 40 = $0.05. 

Answer: D.)The average rate of change is $0.10, meaning that for each minute of talk time, the monthly bill increases by $0.10.
