Question

A company is paying a local radio station to run its commercials. The cost for running commercials is a one-time campaign fee and also a per-second fee for the air time of each commercial. The cost can be modeled by the equation y = 250 + 100x, where x is seconds.
What is the slope, and what does it represent?


250; it represents the per-second fee of air time
250; it represents the one-time campaign fee
100; it represents the one-time campaign fee
100; it represents the per-second fee of air time

Answer 1

250 represents the one time campaign fee because you only have to pay for it once 100 represents the cost per second
