Question

Daniel could do 20 pushups when he first began his workout program. He increased the number of pushups he completed by 5 each week for 8 weeks. Let w represent the number of weeks, and let p represent the number of pushups he completed. Determine the slope of the line.

Answer 1

The slope is 5.

The slope is determined through the formula:

m = (25 - 20)/ (1 - 0)
m = 5

This also suggests that his push ups increase by 5 each week.
