What is a slope on a graph

The slope on a graph is "rise over run" (rise/run)
The equation for slope is mx + b = y. (the mx is the slope)
To find the slope, you will see two points on your graph. From one point, count either upwards or downwards from the y axis till you reach to where the other point is. (this is the rise)
After finding the rise, you will then count either left or right across the x axis till you count to the other point.
For example, if you had one point at (-3,4) and another at (6,2)
The rise would be 6, and the run would be 6 as well.
hope this helps

<span> A line that never changes, so you can choose whatever two points you want and you will always get the same slope.

- Varun drove to work this morning. It took

babymother [125]

Answer:

See attached graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of distance from home as a function of time starts at the origin of coordinates (0,0) since at time zero minutes Varun is at home.

Then we represent his driving at constant speed (although it has not been specified in the problem) as a line with positive slope equal to his speed, that goes on for the first five minutes. After that, he reaches the traffic light that keeps him at the same distance from home for three minutes (notice the line representing the distance covered is flat from minute 5 to minute 8, while he is not moving).

Then he starts moving again (we assume at the same speed as before - so the line representing his position is again a line with positive slope and with the SAME inclination as that which represents the first 5 minutes of his trip.

The line ends at minute 15 which is the time it took him to get to work.
