3. A linear graph of parking fees in dollars based on hours parked has the points (2,20) and (6,44) . How would you interpret the slope of the graph as the rate of change in the parking fee for each additional hour of parking?(1 point)
Responses

A. The parking fee rises by $10 with each additional hour.

B. The parking fee rises by $8 with each additional hour.

C. The parking fee rises by $7.33 with each additional hour.

D. The parking fee rises by $6 with each additional hour.

4. Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows the x-axis, labeled as hours, ranging from 0 to 6 in increments of 1 and the y-axis, labeled as gallons, ranging from 0 to 240 in increments of 20. A line segment joins four plotted points. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 200 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 160 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 80 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 0 right parenthesis.

The graph shows the number of gallons in a wading pool that is being drained. Using the points (1,160) and (3,80) as (x^1,y^1) and (x^2,y^2) , what is the rate of change in the number of gallons in the pool after each hour has passed?
