What is the cost per kilometer in this rule?
What does the 5 mean in the equation? Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The slope is 2.6 since it is in front of the variable. This is also equal to the cost per km. It costs $2.6 per km. This is the variable cost.
The 5 is the initial cost. You have to pay $5 before going anywhere. It is the fixed cost.
