Question

10. The graph shows the amounts that you are collecting

for selling calendars and boxes of greeting cards to
raise money for the school band.
Compare the steepness of the lines

Answer 1

So,

Both lines represent the amounts that you are collecting for selling calendars and boxes of greeting cards.

Let's compare the steepness of the lines.

If we look at the lines, we notice that the slope of one of both (Calenders) is steeper than the other one. This means that the amount of money collected selling calenders is more than the amount of money collected selling boxes of greeting cards, if you sell the same number of each one.

For example, if you look at the number 2, we can compare that when you sell 2 calenders, you obtain 20 dollars, but if you sell 2 boxes, you only obtain 12 dollars.

As a conclution, when the slope is steeper, you'll get more amount of money. (In this case, selling calenders)
