Question

What is the slope in pages per hour? Number of Hours 2 4 6 8Pages Completed 3 6 9 12

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 pages per hour.

Explanation:

The slope in pages per hour can be calculated as:

$m=\frac{p_2-p_1}{h_2-h_1}$

Where p1 and p2 are two values of pages completed from the table and h1 and h2 are their respective number of hours.

So, replacing h1 by 2, h2 by 4, p1 by 3, and p2 by 6, we get:

$m=\frac{6-3}{4-2}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Therefore, the slope in pages per hour is 1.5
