The slope, or monthly cost, is $25.
you sure?
My apologies for the incorrect response. The correct slope, or monthly cost, can be found by finding the change in cost and dividing it by the change in number of months.
Change in cost = 149 - 74 = $75
Change in number of months = 4 - 1 = 3
Slope = Change in cost / Change in number of months = $75 / 3 = $25
Therefore, the correct slope, or monthly cost, is $25.
