Question

amount vs time
what is the slope
of the line shown?
point 1 (0, 1)
point 2 (5, 4)
slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
amount consumed each trial
time (sec)
(0,1)
(5,4)
(0,1)
slope = 3/5
cannot be
determined
slope = 2/5
slope = 5/3

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

Point 1: \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 1)\), Point 2: \((x_2, y_2) = (5, 4)\)

Step2: Apply slope formula

Slope formula: \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)
Substitute values: \(m = \frac{4 - 1}{5 - 0} = \frac{3}{5}\)

Answer:

slope = 3/5
