28
32
60
88

Answer 1

Answer: 28

Explanation:

In this scenario, we can consider the independent variable to be the number of hours and the dependent variable to be the total cost charged by Superior Segway Tours

As per the given situation, the cost charged by Superior Segway Tours is a one-time fee of $60, plus $28 per hour

So, the cost (y) can be calculated using the equation:y = 28x + 60 where x is the number of hours of the sightseeing tour.

The slope of this situation is the coefficient of x, which is 28. Therefore, the slope of this situation is 28.
