Visual Comparison of Fixed and Variable Billing Models

An office manager is comparing two service contracts. Contract A is modeled by the equation y=4xy = 4x, where xx represents the number of hours of service. Contract B is modeled by the equation y=4y = 4, representing a flat monthly fee. Briefly describe the visual orientation of each contract's graph on a coordinate plane and identify which model represents a constant cost that does not change regardless of the number of hours (xx).
