2.74
3.50
5.48
6.24

Explanation:

Step1: Define slope as rate per meal

The slope represents the cost per single meal delivered, so we divide the cost for 2 meals by 2.
$\text{Slope} = \frac{5.48}{2}$

Step2: Calculate the per-meal cost

Perform the division to find the unit rate.
$\text{Slope} = 2.74$

Answer:

2.74
