A store sells a product for $20, and the price decreases by $2 for every 10 units sold. Write the equation for the price P in terms of the number of units sold x. What does the slope represent in this context?
P = 20 - 0.2x; the slope represents the decrease in price per unit sold.
P = 20 + 0.2x; the slope represents the increase in price per unit sold.
P = 20 - 2x; the slope represents the total price decrease after selling units.
P = 18 - 0.5x; the slope represents the total price after selling units.

A population of fish in a lake is modeled by the equation P = 1000/(1 + 9e^(-0.1t)), where P is the population and t is time in years. What does the slope of the tangent line at t = 5 indicate about the population growth?
The slope of the tangent line at t = 5 indicates the rate of population growth at that time.
The slope of the tangent line at t = 5 represents the average population over the last 5 years.
The slope of the tangent line at t = 5 indicates the maximum population capacity of the lake.
The slope of the tangent line at t = 5 shows the total population at that time.
