The graph shows the number of laps that Jan runs as her coach times her.



What is the slope of the line and what does it mean in this situation?



Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement.


The slope of the line is_ .

This means that Jan runs _ laps every_minutes .

Answer 1

slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
(5,10)...x2 = 5 and y2 = 10
now we sub and solve
slope = (10 - 4) / (5 - 2) = 6/3 = 2

The slope of the line is 2....and this is basically saying that Jan runs 2 laps every minute
