Question

The graph shows the cost of traveling by car on a turnpike.

What is the slope of the line? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.3/4

Step-by-step explanation: 0.6/8 divided by 2 = 0.3/4

Answer 2

The slope is
`s=(3)/(40)`

Explanation:

The slope is the rate of change of a function, that is given by:

`s=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

We are going to take the point given

x1=0.60 and y1=8

x2=2.40 and y2=32

so:

`s=(2.40-0.60)/(32-8)=((9)/(5))/(24)=(9)/(120)=(3)/(40)`
