Question

a school conducts 27 test in 36 weeks. assume the school conducts tests at a constant rate .what is the slope of the line that represents the number of tests on the y-axis and the time in weeks on the x- axis

Answer 1

The slope of a graph is base on the rise over run of the line connected by the points which composed of an X and Y coordinate. The rise of the line is its Y and the Run is X. Base on the assigning of variables of its x and y value, the slope is calculate by dividing the weeks by its test so the answer is 3 over 4 or 0.75

Answer 2

Answer: Slope of the line = 0.75.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tests = 27

Number of weeks = 36

According to question,

Number of tests is on the y-axis and the time in weeks is on the x-axis.

So, the coordinates are the (0,27) and (36,0)

As we know the formula for "Slope of line":

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\m=(27-0)/(36-0)\\\\m=(27)/(36)\\\\m=(3)/(4)\\\\m=0.75`

Hence, Slope of the line = 0.75.
