Question

Help with slope please....

Answer 1

Part A: 4 calories per minute.

Part B: The slope is 1/2

Explanation:

Part A: We look at the first point (40,10). 40 divided by 10? 4. We can check this by the second point (60,15). 60 divided by 15? Also 4.

Part B: Slope is found by 'rise over run' or rise/run. We take the first point (40,10). How many to get the our second point (60,15)? We 'rise' 1 and 'run' 2. Or we go up 1 and move to the right 2 times to get to (60,15). Since the line is going up, it's positive. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

1. 1 Calorie Per Minute

2. 5/20 (Simplified = 1/4)

Really Hope This Helps :D

Step One: Identify two points on the line.

Step Two: Select one to be (x1, y1) and the other to be (x2, y2).

Step Three: Use the slope equation to calculate slope.

(Equation For Step Three is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Enjoy :D
