Question

amount vs time
what is the slope
of the line shown?
point 1 (2, 4)
point 2 (4, 7)
slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
(2, 4)
(4, 7)
slope = 3/2
slope = 3/4
slope = 2/3
cannot be
determined
amount consumed each trial
time (sec)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

Point 1: \((x_1, y_1) = (2, 4)\), Point 2: \((x_2, y_2) = (4, 7)\)

Step2: Apply slope formula

Slope formula: \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)
Substitute values: \(m = \frac{7 - 4}{4 - 2} = \frac{3}{2}\)

Answer:

slope = 3/2
