Question

The cost, c(x), for parking in an airport lot is given by c(x) = 8x + 10.00, where x is the number of hours. What does the slope mean in this situation?

Answer 1

Answer: the rate of change of the cost of parking in the lot is $8.00 per hour.

Explanation

Answer 2

For this case we have the following function:
c (x) = 8x + 10.00
Where,
x: number of hours
c (x): total cost
We note that the function is linear
The slope of the line means that there is a cost of 8 (units of money) per hour of parking at the airport.
Answer:
the slope mean in this situation that:
there is a cost of 8 (units of money) per hour of parking at the airport.
