To find the slope, which represents the monthly cost, we need to determine the change in cost per month.
From 1 month to 2 months, the cost increased by $99 - $74 = $25.
From 2 months to 3 months, the cost increased by $124 - $99 = $25.
From 3 months to 4 months, the cost increased by $149 - $124 = $25.
Therefore, the monthly cost, or slope, is $25.
Use the table to answer the question.
Number of Months Cost ($)
1 74
2 99
3 124
4 149
