Exercise 14 Page 141

Plot the points represented in the given table and connect them with a straight line.

Slope of the line: 0
Interpretation: See solution.

Practice makes perfect
Let's begin by plotting the three ordered pairs that we can identify from the table. Then, we can connect them with a straight line to see the graph of the function.

The three points form a horizontal line. There is no change in y, and therefore the slope is 0. This means that no matter how much time you want to spend in the park, you will always pay $54.99 admission. In other words, the fee is fixed.
