Jeremy has a weekend job as a soccer referee. One weekend, he earns $140 by working 4 games. Another weekend, he earns $210 by working 6 games. If Jeremy graphed an equation that would represent his total earnings based on the number of games worked, what would be the slope of the graph?

Jeremy's weekend work would follow the equation of the standard line. The equation of the standard line is y=mx+b. b= 0, The slope of the line is equal to m, where m according to the given problem is equal to 35. Every hour of Jeremy weekend would pay $35.
Jeremy's equation
y= 35x
m=35
