13. The function y = 40(x - 1) + 70 can be used to determine the cost in dollars
for renting a trampoline park for a birthday party for x hours. What is the rate of
change of the cost in dollars to rent the trampoline park with respect to time?
A
$30 per hour
$40 per hour
B
с
$60 per hour
D
$110 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

the function actually is

y = 40(x - 1) + 70 = 40x - 40 + 70 = 40x + 30

still, the slope (the factor of x) is 40.

that means y (the cost) increases by 40 for every additional hour (x increases by 1).

so, the rate of change (slope) is 40/1 = $40 per hour.
