find the slooe word problem. A friend gifts you a pet rock collection. You decide to grow the collection by 10 pet rocks every month. After 7 months, you have 155 pet rocks.  The student determines the slope is 7 because it says, "after 7 months." Do you agree or disagree with the students' answer. Explain why or why not.​

I disagree with the student because the slope is the rate of change. The slope would be 10 because the rocks are increasing by 10 every month.
