Simone buys bus passes to travel to the city. The cost of 15 bus passes costs $36. Which graph has a slope that best represents the average cost of the bus passes in dollars per bus pass?

Answer 1

The best graph that represents the average cost of the bus passes in dollars per bus pass would be a straight line with a positive slope.

If the cost of 15 bus passes is $36, then the average cost of one bus pass can be found by dividing the total cost by the number of bus passes, which is $36 divided by 15, giving $2.40 per bus pass.

Therefore, the slope representing the average cost per bus pass would be $2.40 per bus pass.

The graph that best represents this slope would be a straight line with a slope of $2.40, moving upwards from left to right.
