This includes appliances like the refrigerator, TV, electric fans and charging. The graph illustrates a 0 function. The equation is: 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Let the domain be {5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,11,12,13,14,15} Monthly Electricity Consumption Y= 100x + 550

The amount paid for electricity consumption (y) increases (12, 1 750) (13, 1 850) (14, 1 950) (15, 2 050) The Ordaniza household is composed of 9 individuals. In when the number of hour (x) increases assuming that the the daily basis, especially during the pandemic which the amount of electricity consumed and number of appliances children are forced to stay at home, the only entertainment they could afford is through TV and other online media. used are constant. The 100 represents the hourly rate of The domain represents the number of hours (x), while the range is the estimated amount of electricity Hence the data shows the increase in the family’s the electricity consumption. The constant amount of 550 consumptions bill (y). Each domain is paired to only one electricity consumption the more they spend their time in pesos represents the minimum monthly consumption charge range thus, the ordered pairs illustrate a function. using these appliances. This only shows that electricity bill from bulb lights which are necessary and constantly used by could actually be controlled by limiting and setting standard the family every day. on the hours spent in using the appliances.
