Question

This graph shows the number of laps that jan runs as her coach timing her. What is the slope of the line and what does it mean to for this situation? The coordinates are (5,10) and (2,4)

Answer 1

First of all there isn't any graphs shown in here but i will try to show u how to work it out according to the given data.

$Slope= \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points by which the line passes through.

so;
$Slope= \frac{4-10}{2-5}$
$Slope = \frac{-6}{-3}$
Slope=3
