The function for the speed of a spaceship that is launching from the station is given by v(t) = 5,924 + 312t, where v is the velocity (in kilometers per minute) and t is the number of minutes after the spaceship begins to launch.
What is the slope? What does it represent? (1 point)
Group of answer choices
5,924; velocity increases at rate of 5,924 kilometers per minute as the time increases
−5,924; velocity decreases at rate of 5,924 kilometers per minute as the time increases
312; velocity increases at rate of 312 kilometers per minute as the time increases
−312; velocity decreases at rate of 312 kilometers per minute as the time increases
