Find the slope then describe what it means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable.The linear function f(x) = 4.6x + 26 represents the percentage of people, f(x), who graduated from college x years after 1998.

A. m = 26; the percentage of people graduating from college has increased at a rate of 26% per year after 1998.
B. m = 4.6; the percentage of people graduating from college has decreased at a rate of 4.6% per year after 1998.
C. m = 4.6; the percentage of people graduating from college has increased at a rate of 4.6% per year after 1998.
