Answer:

  dollars per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If m is the slope, the units of m can be found by considering the units of x and y.

  y is in dollars

  x is in hours

Then from the point of view of units, we have ...

  dollars = m × hours

  m = dollars/hours

The slope in the equation is the rental charge in dollars per hour.
