Is it B or C

B. The parking fee rises by $7.33 with each additional hour.
To find the slope (rate of change), we use the formula:
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
where y represents the parking fee in dollars and x represents the hours parked.
Thus,
slope = (44-20)/(6-2) = 24/4 = 6
This means that for each additional hour parked, the parking fee increases by $6. Therefore, the answer is C.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. The correct answer is C. The parking fee rises by $6 with each additional hour, as determined by the slope of the linear graph. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
