Answer:
the slope represents the cost for each hour it takes to repair the machine.Step-by-step Answer:
We are given that the cost of a service call to fix a washing machine can be expressed by the linear function
Where
y=Total cost of a service to fix the machine.
x=Number of hours takes to fix the machine
We have to find that slope in this function what represents.
General equation of line is given by
Where m=Slope of line
c=y- intercept
Comparing the general equation with the given function
We get m=45,c=35
m=45 represents the cost for each hour it takes to repair the machine because when number of hours multiplied by 45 then we get total cost of x hours.
Hence, the slope represents the cost for each hour it takes to repair the machine.
0.5/0.25?
Not really sure what ur asking
