The slope that represents the cost per guest is $42 per guest

<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Cost for 65 guests, g is $2730

Cost for 80 guests is $3360

This can be represented as

(g, C) = (65, 2730) and (80, 3360)

The slope is then calculated as

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Where

(x, y) = (65, 2730) and (80, 3360)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

Slope = (3360 - 2730)/(80 - 65)

Evaluate the quotient

Slope = 42

Hence, the slope is 42
