Brian earns $5 per hour babysitting. He makes a graph and plots what he

earns for different numbers of hours. He places the number of hours he
works on the x-axis and his earnings on the y-axis. What is the slope of the

Answer:

The slope of the line is 5

Explanation:

When we talk of the slope of a straight line graph, we refer to the rate at which the values on the y-axis changes as a ratio of the changes we have on the x-axis

Now, from the question, number of hours is placed on x-axis, while we have the amounts on the y-axis

having $5 per hour means the rate of change of what is earned to number of hours worked is 5 and this is the slope of the line
