Question

What is the slope of the line, what does the slope represent? write an equation for emma’s graph x=time and y=distance

Answer 1

5/2 or 2.5

Explanation:

Slope formula:

(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Two points are given:

(2, 5) and (6, 15)

x₁ = 2

y₁ = 5

x₂ = 6

y₂ = 15

Substitute and solve:

(15 - 5) / (6 - 2)

10 / 4

5/2 or 2.5

Answer 2

the slope is 1/2. the equation would be y=1/2x
