Answer:
Alisha might have not taken respective input values with the output values and the correct slope is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of a linear relationship is given by the equation
[tex]y = mx+b[/tex]
Here m is the rate of change of the linear relationship which is calculated as:
[tex]m = \frac{change\ in\ y}{change\ in\ x}[/tex]
Change in y is given by the difference of two outputs and x is given by difference of two inputs
So taking the set of outputs and inputs
(1,2) and (2,5)
[tex]m = \frac{5-2}{2-1}\\m = \frac{3}{1}\\m = 3[/tex]
Alisha might have not taken respective input values with the output values and the correct slope is 3.
