Question

Superior segway tours gives sightseeing tours around chicago, illinois. it charges a one-time fee of $60, plus $28 per hour. what is the slope of this situation? a. 28 b. 32 c. 60d. 88

Answer 1

the answer is (a) 28.

Explanation:

The given situation can be represented by a linear equation of the form:

Cost = mx + b

where "m" is the slope (the rate of change of cost with respect to time), "x" is the number of hours of the tour, and "b" is the y-intercept (the cost when x = 0).

In this case, the y-intercept is $60, which represents the one-time fee. The cost increases by $28 per hour, so the slope is:

m = $28/hour

Therefore, the answer is (a) 28.
