Question

How do you find the slope?

“The cost y(in dollars) to rent a kayak is proportional to the number x of hours that you rent the kayak. It costs $27 to rent the kayak for 3 hours.”

Answer 1

the slope is 9

Explanation:

The slope is how much it cost per hour so that means if you do 27 divided by 3 then you get 9 cause 3 hours is 27 but one hour is 9

how you check if your right is by adding 9 up 3 times

9+9+9=27

Hope this Helps!

Answer 2

9/1

Explanation:

$27 for 3 hours. To find the slope, it always has to be over 1 hour because it's a unit rate. 27/3 would be 9. It makes sense too because $9 per 1 hour is the same as $27 for 3 hours.
