Question

soraya wants to sign up for a gym membership at gym club premium. she needs to pay a one - time membership fee of 40 dollars to join, and a monthly fee of 20 dollars. this graph represents the amount of money she spends, y, after x months. the slope of the line is 20. what does the slope mean in this situation? the slope means that every 20 months, soraya spends 1 dollar for her gym membership. the slope means that after each additional month, soraya spends 20 more dollars for her gym membership. the slope means that soraya spends 20 dollars per day for her gym membership.

Explanation:

Slope represents the rate of change of total cost ($y$) with respect to time in months ($x$). A slope of 20 means for each 1-unit increase in $x$ (each additional month), $y$ (total cost) increases by 20. This matches the stated monthly fee of 20 dollars.

Answer:

The slope means that after each additional month, Soraya spends 20 more dollars for her gym membership.
