The cost per unit of the auto shop function is the slope of the function

87 represents the slope and the cost per tire purchased

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{C(t) = 87t + 32}[/tex]

A linear function is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{C(t) = mt + b}[/tex]

Where:

m represents the slope or the unit rate.

So, by comparison:

[tex]\mathbf{m = 87}[/tex]

This means that 87 represents the slope and the cost per tire purchased
