A restaurant plans to use a new food delivery service. The food delivery service charges $5.92 for every 2 meals delivered, plus a $2.50 service fee. What is the slope of this situation?
a) 5.92
b) 5.46
c) 2.96
d) 2.50
b) 5.46
The slope of this situation is the cost per meal delivered, which is $5.92 for every 2 meals. To calculate the cost per meal, we divide $5.92 by 2:
$5.92 / 2 = $2.96
Therefore, the slope of this situation is $2.96 (option c).
