Question

a bowl starts with 8 milliliters of water in it. chloe is dropping cubes into the bowl one at a time. she records the volume in the bowl after each cube is dropped in. find the slope of the line. the slope is the change in vertical distance for a given change in horizontal distance. you can use any two points on the line to find the slope. lets look at the change in vertical and horizontal distance from (1, 10) to (2, 12). start by labeling the change in vertical distance and horizontal distance on the slope triangle below. graph of a line with points (0,8), (1,10), (2,12), (3,14) etc., x-axis: number of cubes, y-axis: volume in the bowl (milliliters) slope = \frac{vertical distance}{horizontal distance}

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points

Use points (1,10) and (2,12)

Step2: Calculate vertical distance

$12 - 10 = 2$

Step3: Calculate horizontal distance

$2 - 1 = 1$

Step4: Compute slope

$\frac{2}{1} = 2$

Answer:

2
