Question

Alexandria is practicing her long distance running. On day 0, she can run 2 miles without stopping. She wants to add 1/4 mile to her run each day. What is the slope for this linear relationship?

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

The slope of a graph is always the rate of change for every value of x, in this case, days. Since she is adding 1/4 of a mile to her run each day, this means that the slope of this linear relationship is 1/4.

She increases a full mile in 4 days, just a little note.
