To find the slope, we can calculate the change in cost for each additional month of membership.
The change in cost between month 1 and month 2:
99 - 74 = 25
The change in cost between month 2 and month 3:
124 - 99 = 25
The change in cost between month 3 and month 4:
149 - 124 = 25
Since the change in cost is constant at 25 for each additional month, the slope, or monthly cost, is $25.
The change in cost between month 1 and month 2:
99 - 74 = 25
The change in cost between month 2 and month 3:
124 - 99 = 25
The change in cost between month 3 and month 4:
149 - 124 = 25
Since the change in cost is constant at 25 for each additional month, the slope, or monthly cost, is $25.
