Answer:

C. g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is measured by calculating the variation of the Y values over the X values between two points on a line.

So, the formula is: Slope = Δy/Δx

That means that we also take the units.

In this case, the Y-axis unit is in g, while the X-axis unit is in cm³.

Dividing a Y-variation over an X-variation will give you g/cm³.

In this case, let's assume the line passes through (10,100) (not exactly, but close enough for the example), and it passes through (0,0)

So the slope would be: (100-0) g / (10-0) cm³ = 10 g/cm³
