Answer:
The slope is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you were to graph the price of meat per pound, you would need to choose the x-axis and y-axis labels.
The x-axis is the <u>independent</u> variable, meat in pounds.
The y-axis is the <u>dependent</u> variable, price in dollars.
The price depends on the number of pounds you buy.
Slope is calculated using rise over run, or:
"Rise" is the number of squares going up.
"Run" is the number of squares going to the right.
In the graph below, <u>to go from one red dot to the next, you count 1 to the right and 8 going up</u>.
Therefore, the slope is 8.
