Miles Traveled Ordered Pair
240 (2, 240)
360 (3, 360)
480 (4,480)
A point doesn't have slope. Once you have TWO points, then the line between them has a slope.
The slope is (how far the line rises from one point to the other) divided by (the level distance between them).
This would be an exponential function.
Exponential functions are of the form
y = a*bˣ, where a is the initial value, b is the rate the function changes by, and x is the time period. Since this triples, b would be 3.
The answer would be 1/3 right?
