The cost of renting a kayak is represented by the equation
y = 8x + 5, where x represents the number of hours. What
does the slope of the equation represent?

9514 1404 393

  dollars per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If m is the slope, the units of m can be found by considering the units of x and y.

  y is in dollars

  x is in hours

Then from the point of view of units, we have ...

  dollars = m × hours

  m = dollars/hours

The slope in the equation is the rental charge in dollars per hour.

2.2°  

step-by-step explanation:

let θ = the angle of elevation.

tanθ =77/2020

tanθ = 0.038 12

      θ = tan⁻¹0.038 12

      θ = 2.2°
