Use the table to answer the question.Number of MonthsCost ($)17429931244149The 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.(1 point)Responses$74$74$37.25$37.25$49$49$25
To find the slope, we need to calculate the change in cost divided by the change in months.
Change in cost = final cost - initial cost = $25 - $74 = -$49
Change in months = final month - initial month = 4 - 1 = 3
Slope = Change in cost / Change in months
Slope = -$49 / 3
Slope = -$16.33
The monthly cost is approximately $16.33.
