D.
the total distance traveled during the rental
1 answer
In the context of the graph you described, where the x-axis represents miles driven and the y-axis represents total cost, the slope of the line represents the change in total cost per unit of distance driven. This is typically the cost per mile.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. the cost per mile driven.
