Answer:

g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above,

The y-axis is representing mass (g)

The x-axis is representing volume (cm³)

Unit of slope =?

Slope of a graph is simply defined as the change in y-axis divided by the change in x-axis. Mathematically it is expressed as:

Slope = change in y-axis (Δy)/change in x-axis (Δx)

Slope = Δy/Δx

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the unit used for measuring the slope as follow:

y-axis = mass (g)

x-axis = volume (cm³)

Slope =.?

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = mass (g) /volume (cm³)

Slope = g/cm³

Therefore, the derive unit used for measuring the slope is g/cm³
