Question

PLEASEEEE HELPP !

A company sells bottles of vitamin capsules. The graph and table show the linear relationship between the cost per capsule in cents and the number of bottles ordered. What is the slope of the line that models this situation?

Answer 1

`slope (m) = -5`

Explanation:

The slope can be calculated using two points, (2, 60) and (4, 50) as shown below:

`slope (m) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`, where,

`(2, 60) = (x_1, y_1)`

`(4, 50) = (x_2, y_2)`

Plug in the values into the equation

`slope (m) = (50 - 60)/(4 - 2)`

`slope (m) = (-10)/(2)`

`slope (m) = -5`
