Answer:
The slope is [tex]m=\$58\ per\ ticket[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ---> the number of tickets
y ---> the total cost
we know that
The equation of a line in slope intercept form is equal to
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
In this problem we have that
The slope or unit rate is the cost of one ticket
[tex]m=\$58\ per\ ticket[/tex]
The y-intercept is the same that the handling fee charge
[tex]b=\$5[/tex]
so
The linear equation that represent this situation is
[tex]y=58x+5[/tex]
therefore
The slope is [tex]m=\$58\ per\ ticket[/tex]
