An audio books club charges an initial joining fee of $20.00. The cost per audio book is $15.00. The graph shows the cost of belonging to the club as a function of audio books purchased. How will the graph change if the cost per audio book goes up by $1.00?
(The new function is shown by the dotted line.)

Answer:

The new function will have a steeper slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of audio books purchased

y ---->the cost of belonging to the club in dollars

we know that

case 1 (Originally)

[tex]y=15x+20[/tex] ----> equation A

case 2 ( the cost per audio book goes up by $1.00)

The new equation is

[tex]y=(15+1)x+20[/tex]

[tex]y=16x+20[/tex]  

The slope of the new function is greater than the slope of the original function    

[tex]16\frac{\$}{audio\ book}>15\frac{\$}{audio\ book}[/tex]

The new function will have a steeper slope
