A restaurant plans to use a new food delivery service. The food delivery service charges $5.92 for every 2 meals delivered, plus a $2.50 service fee. What is the slope of this situation?

Question

a) 5.92
b) 5.46
c) 2.96
d) 2.50

Answer 1

b) 5.46

The slope of this situation is the cost per meal delivered, which is $5.92 for every 2 meals. To calculate the cost per meal, we divide $5.92 by 2:

$5.92 / 2 = $2.96

Therefore, the slope of this situation is $2.96 (option c).
