The cost, c(x), for a taxi ride is given by c(x) = 2x + 4.00, where x is the number of minutes. What does the slope mean for this situation?
The rate of change of the cost of the taxi ride is $2.00 per minute.
The taxi ride costs $2.00 per trip.
The taxi ride costs a total of $4.00.
The rate of change of the cost of the taxi ride is $4.00 per minute
The slope in this situation represents the rate of change of the cost of the taxi ride. Therefore, the correct statement is:
The rate of change of the cost of the taxi ride is $2.00 per minute.
