Question

Math problem. The price of a community pool membership has a one time sign up fee and monthly fee. The price can be modeled by the function y=20x+50, where x is the numer of months. Question: what is the slope, and what does it represent.

Answer 1

The Slope is 20, it represents that the pool membership will cost $20 every month

Answer 2

Answer: In the given function the slope (m)=20

It represents the change in price of a community pool membership with respect to the change in number of months.

Explanation:

Given: The price of a community pool membership has a one time sign up fee and monthly fee.

The price can be modeled by the function
`y=20x+50` , where x is the number of months.

We know that the equation of line is
`y=mx+c` , where m is the slope of the line which shows the rate of change of y with respect to the change of x.

In the given function the slope (m)=20

It represents the change in price of a community pool membership with respect to the change in number of months.
