To determine the slope in this situation, we need to identify how the cost changes with respect to the number of meals.
The food delivery service charges $4.98 for every 2 meals, which means the cost per meal is:
\[
\text{Cost per meal} = \frac{4.98}{2} = 2.49
\]
Additionally, there is a fixed $2.00 service fee, but the slope is determined by the variable cost per meal.
Thus, the slope of the situation, which represents the change in cost per meal delivered, is **$2.49.**
So, the correct answer is **2.49.**
