Question 1075954: Upper A 16-gigabyte video MP4 player costs ​$59.99 in a store. A 32​-gigabyte video MP4 player costs ​$79.99 in the same store. Find and interpret the slope of the line connecting the points ​(16​,59.99​) and ​(32,79.99​)
The slope is? Type as an integer or a decimal.
Or is it undifined?

The slope is change in y / change in x=20/16=5/4 or $1.25/GB
That means for every 1 GB change (increase), the cost of the MP4 player increases $1.25. The units are cost per GB.
