To find the slope, we need to determine the rate at which the cost increases each month.
We can calculate the slope by finding the change in cost divided by the change in number of months:
(99 - 74) / (2 - 1) = 25 / 1 = 25
Therefore, the slope, or monthly cost, for the gym membership is $25.
Use the table to answer the question.
Number of Months Cost ($)
1 74
2 99
3 124
4 149
The table below shows the cost for a gym membership at the local fitness center with an initial start-up fee charged in the first month. Find the slope, or monthly cost.
