The cost, (x), for parking in a city lot is given by c(x) = 3x + 4.00, where x is
the number of hours. what does the slope mean in this situation?
a. the rate of change of the cost of parking in the lot is $3.00 per
hour.
b. the rate of change of the cost of parking in the lot is $4.00 per
hour.
c. it costs a total of $4.00 to park in the lot.
d. parking in the lot costs $3.00 per car.

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x > is the number of hours

c(x) > is the cost for parking in a city lot

we know that

c(x)=3x+4.00

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

the rate of change or slope m is equal to m=$3 per hour

the y-intercept is equal to b=$4.00 (this is the cost when the number of hours is equal to zero)

therefore

The rate of change of the cost of parking in the lot is $3.00 per

hour
