I disagree with the student because the slope is the rate of change. The slope would be 10 because the rocks are increasing by 10 every month.
Answer:
Rounding to the Nearest Integer
The most common type of rounding is to round to the nearest integer. The rule for rounding is simple: look at the digits in the tenth's place (the first digit to the right of the decimal point).
Step-by-step explanation:

second side = x
first side = 3x - 6
third side = (3x - 6) + 8
The perimeter = 80m and is equal x + (3x - 6) + [(3x - 6) + 8]
x + 3x - 6 + 3x - 6 + 8 = 80
7x - 4 = 80 |+4
7x = 84 |:7
x = 12 m
3x - 6 = 3(12) - 6 = 30 m
(3x - 6) + 8 = 3x + 2 = 3(12) + 2 = 38 m
Answer: 12m, 30m, 38m
Well if you have 48 pics of flowers and 36 pictures of scenery and you want an equal amount of pictures of the scenery, you want to start out by just seeing what number divides evenly into both, in this case, it is four.
