Answer: D. The cost increases $1.25 for each additional song that is downloaded

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change for every function is given by :-

[tex]\text{Rate of change}=\dfrac{\text{Change in dependent variable}}{\text{Change in independent variable}}[/tex]

Here, Independent variable= number of songs

Dependent variable = cost

From the given table , it can be seen that the rate of change of cost per number of songs is 1.25 :-

[tex][\dfrac{1.25-0}{1-0}=\dfrac{1.25}{1}=1.25][/tex]

Since it is positive.

It means that "The cost increases $1.25 for each additional song that is downloaded
