The slope, or monthly cost, is $25.

To find the slope, we need to calculate the change in cost over the change in number of months. From 1 month to 2 months, the cost increases by $25 ($99 - $74). This means that for every additional month, the cost increases by $25. This is the monthly cost, or the slope of the line.
