Question

a restaurant charges $12 for a plain medium pizza and $1.50 for every topping added. what does the slope mean in this situation? slope = \frac{vertical distance}{horizontal distance} = 1.5 12 pizzas cost $1.50. each additional topping adds $1.50 to the price.

Explanation:

The slope represents the rate of change of the pizza's price relative to the number of toppings. Here, the slope is 1.5, which matches the $1.50 charge per additional topping given in the problem context. The first option is incorrect as it misinterprets the relationship between the number of pizzas and cost.

Answer:

Each additional topping adds $1.50 to the price.
