Answer:

20/3

Explanation:

The Other guy is wrong, this is the correct answer from Plato

The rate of change in a direct variation relationship is the same as the constant of proportionality. The rate of change is the change in the dependent value, y, over the change in the independent value, x.

In this case, the number of tickets sold is the independent variable and the amount of money raised from ticket sales is the dependent variable. The ratio of money raised per ticket sold is the constant of proportionality.

Since 3 tickets are sold for $20, the rate of change, or slope, is 20/3
