Answer 1

The graph of the function for Science Buddies has a slope of 30

The graph of the function for Lab Thinkers has a slope of 25

The slope of each graph represents the monthly fee for each club

Explanation:

Science Buddies

In this case, the slope represents the monthly fee because it represents the rate of change.

Slope= 30

Lab Thinkers

Slope=
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Replace with the values on the table knowing that the x-values are independent and the y-values are dependent, months represent the x-values, and cost represents the y-values.

Use the points (1,45; 2,70)

`(70-45)/(2-1)`

`(25)/(1)`= 25

Slope= 25

The sign-up fee represents the y-intercept

The total cost is the result of the equation of the graph (the combination of your slope and the y-intercept)

Therefore, the monthly fee represents the slope
