A company is paying a local radio station to run its commercials. The cost for running commercials is a one time campaign fee an
d also a per second fee for the air time of each commercial. The cost can be modeled by the equation y= 260+ 100x, where x is seconds. What is the slope and what does it represent
Y = 260 + 100 x = 100 x + 260 This is a linear equation in a slope- intercept form: y = m x + b, where m is the slope: m = 100 It represents a per second fee for the commercial.
