Answer 1

Jamal owns a parking garage and is trying to find the relationship between hour of the day and number of cars in the garage. He finds that between 4 am and 10 am he can model this with a linear relationship. The equation for this model is y = 3.96x + 2.

Given the equation the slope is the rate of car enters the garage. So it is 3.96 about 4 cars per hour

Answer 2

it is 3.96 about 4 cars per hour
