Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = 2,4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 1)
m = =
= - 1 ← negative slope
Repeat
with (x₁, y₁ ) = - 7,8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 0)
m = =
Division by zero is undefined, thus slope is undefined.
Repeat with
(x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 3)
m = =
= 0 ← zero slope
Repeat with
(x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 2)
m = =
=
← positive slope

Mikey's results showed that although both mice gained weight over the month, mouse 2 gained more weight than mouse 1.Which graph below best shows these results?
The complete figure is attached
=========================================================
Solution:
---------------
Graph (1)⇒⇒⇒ mouse 2 has constant weight and mouse 1 gained weight
Graph (3)⇒⇒⇒ mouse 2 has did not gain weight and mouse 1 gained weight
∴ Graph (1) and (3) are incorrect because both mice gained weight .
Graph (4) is incorrect because mouse 2 gained more weight than mouse 1
So, the correct answer is graph (2)
