What is the slope of the line shown in this graph?
A $4 per shirt
B$2 per shirt
С$0.50 per shirt
D$0.25 per shirt

Answer 1

Answer: A.) $4 per shirt

Explanation:

Slope of the graph is calculated as the ratio or proportion of chasing ein the y and x axis of a graph.

Slope(m) = [change in y / change in x]

One can draw a right angle triangle to meet the line of best fit provided in the graph to obtain the values for both the y and x axis.

HERE,

y2 = 120, y1 = 40 and x2 = 50, x1 = 30

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Slope = (120 - 40) / (50 - 30)

= 80/20

Slope = 4
