The cost C ( x ) , where x is the number of miles driven, of renting a car for a day is $37 plus $0.95 per mile. What is the slope of the linear function and its units?

Slope is 0.95 and its unit is dollar per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the slope and its units, what we first need to do is to write the given words in form of an equation.

Given that the cost is the dependent variable and the cost per mile the independent variable, we have;

C(x) = $0.95(x) + 37

Comparing to the general equation of a straight line;

y = mx + c

we can see that the slope is 0.95 and its unit is $/mile (dollars per mile)
