The function that represents the average cost per person, including transportation, to a museum is y = 25+8x/x Which statement is true about the graph of the function? The horizontal asymptote y = 0 means the cost approaches zero as the number of people increases. The horizontal asymptote y = 8 means the average cost approaches $8 as the number of people increases. The vertical asymptote x = 0 means the cost approaches zero as the number of people increases. The vertical asymptote x = 8 means the cost approaches zero as the number of people increases.

The statement that is true about the graph of the function from the equation y = 25 + 8x/x which represents the average cost per person is "The horizontal asymptote y = 8 means the average cost approaches $8 as the number of people increases." It means that as x increases which represents the number of people, the value of the transportation to a museum averages to eight dollars.
