To calculate the rate of change in the parking fee for each additional hour of parking, we can use the formula for the slope of a line: (change in y) / (change in x).

Using the given points (2, 20) and (6, 44), we can find the change in y and change in x as follows:
Change in y = 44 - 20 = 24
Change in x = 6 - 2 = 4

Therefore, the slope (rate of change) of the graph is 24 / 4 = 6.

This means that the parking fee rises by $6 with each additional hour of parking.
