The local ice cream shop is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The shop must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y = 10x + 30, where x is hours.
What is the slope, and what does it represent?
- 30; it represents the hourly wage for the worker
- 30; it represents the cost for insurance
- 10; it represents the hourly wage for the worker
- 10; it represents the cost for insurance
