> Use the information provided to find the slope of each line. State what the slope
represents.
Seconds 0 5 10
Feet To 30 60

Answer 1

The slope of the given line is: 6

What is the slope of the line?

The formula for slope of a line between two coordinates is given by the formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Using two of the coordinates (5, 30) and (10, 60), we have:

Slope = (60 - 30)/(10 - 5)

Slope = 6
