clarkson toll road costs

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Henderson's slope

Slope = $\frac{\text{Change in Cost}}{\text{Change in Miles}} = \frac{6-3}{20-10} = \frac{3}{10} = 0.3$

Step2: Calculate Clarkson's slope

Slope = $\frac{\text{Change in Cost}}{\text{Change in Miles}} = \frac{4.50-3.25}{10-5} = \frac{1.25}{5} = 0.25$

Step3: Compare the two slopes

$0.3 > 0.25$, so Henderson has a greater slope.

Answer:

A. $0.3$
B. $0.25$
C. Henderson Toll Road
