Question

The graph shows the cost of traveling by car on a turnpike.

What is the slope of the line? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.3/4

Step-by-step explanation: 0.6/8 divided by 2 = 0.3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is $s=\frac{3}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the rate of change of a function, that is given by:

$s=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

We are going to take the point given

x1=0.60 and y1=8

x2=2.40 and y2=32

so:

$s=\frac{2.40-0.60}{32-8}=\frac{\frac{9}{5}}{24}=\frac{9}{120}=\frac{3}{40}$
