A parking garage charges based on the number of hours parked. The table shows the cost: Hours (x) | Cost (y) ----------|--------- 1 | $5 2 | $8 3 | $11 What is the cost for parking 5 hours?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
The cost increases by $3 for each additional hour ($8-$5=$3, $11-$8=$3). Following this pattern, 4 hours would be $14, and 5 hours would be $17. The linear function is y = 3x + 2.
