Jackson's car was making a rumbling noise for 2 weeks. He decided to take it to the mechanic to get it checked out. To diagnose the problem, the mechanic tells Jackson that he charges a flat, one-time fee of $60 and then $35 for each hour he spends trying to identify the problem. What is the slope in this scenario?

The slope is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Determine the slope

First, we need to determine the equation.

Let y represents the total charges and x represents the number of hours.

y is calculated using;

This gives:

Reorder

The general form of an equation is:

Where m represents the slope

By comparison of and

Hence, the slope is 35
