Answer:
Slope = 2 , rate of change of the cost is $2 per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost, c(x), for a taxi ride is given by c(x)=2x+3.00 , where x is the number of minutes.
c(x) is a linear equaition in the form of y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
In c(x)= 2x + 3.00. the slope = 2
Slope = change in y /change in x
y that is c(x) is the cost and x is the number of minutes
So slope = change in cost /change in number of minutes
Slope = 2 , rate of change of the cost is $2 per minute
