Question

Find the slope represented in the table

Answer 1

Number of boxes = y
Height of the stack = x
Slope formula:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`
Choose two points from graph:
`1. (8.5, 1) 2.(17, 2)`
Plug in values (Convert fractions to decimals):
`(2 - 1)/(17 - 8.5)`
Solve:
`(2-1)/(17-8.5) = (1)/(8.5) = slope`
Slope:
`(1)/(8.5)`
