Question

Lonnie plans to join the gym. He must pay a $35 membership fee. He will

then pay $5 each month. What is the slope?

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

The slope will be the constant amount that the cost increases by each month.

In this situation, 5 is the slope, because he has to pay $5 each month.

35 is not the slope, and is instead the y intercept. This is because this is the cost at 0 months, since it is the membership fee.

So, the correct answer is 5.
