The admission cost to enter a fair is $5. The cost to ride each ride at the fair is $1.50. Julie received a 12-off coupon that applies to the admission price. Julie decides
to graph the total cost on the y-axis and the number of rides on the x-axis, using the
equation y =1.50x +5 to represent the total cost, and the equation y =1.50x + 2.50
to represent the discounted cost. Which best describes the appearance of the
discounted cost line to that of the regular cost line?
A. less steep
B. more steep
C. same steepness, discounted cost line closer to the origin
D. same steepness, discounted cost line farther away from the origin
