The slope represents the number of miles hiked every hour.

Answer 2

The slope is 2.

Explanation:

The function graphed shows the total distance she hiked, in miles, after x hours on the second day.

Seeing at the graph, we have the following points.

(2,8) , (3,10) , (4,12)

For slope we will do the following.

`(10-8)/(3-2) =(2)/(1)` = 2

`(12-10)/(4-3) =(2)/(1)` = 2

So, the slope is 2.

The slope represents that 2 miles is hiked in each hour.
