In this context, the slope represents the rate at which the total cost of painting the house changes with respect to the number of hours it takes the painting company to finish the house.
More specifically, the slope measures the increase in cost for each additional hour worked by the painting company. It indicates the steepness or the inclination of the line. A positive slope means that as the number of hours increases, the total cost also increases, while a negative slope represents a decrease in cost as the number of hours increases.
