Question

a bucket starts with 6 milliliters of water in it. charlie is dropping cubes into the bucket one at a time. he records the volume in the bucket 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, 8) to (2, 10). start by labeling the change in vertical distance and horizontal distance on the slope triangle below. graph of a line with points (1,8), (2,10), etc., showing volume in bucket (milliliters) on y-axis and number of cubes on x-axis

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points

Points are (1,8) and (2,10)

Step2: Calculate vertical distance

$10 - 8 = 2$

Step3: Calculate horizontal distance

$2 - 1 = 1$

Step4: Compute slope

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

Answer:

2
