Question

There was a layer of snow on joes driveway when it began to snow again. As the snow fell, joe measure the depth, in centimeters (cm), of snow on his driveway. After 10 minutes, he measured 2.0 com of snow on the driveway. After 30 minutes, the snow was 3.6 cm deep. The snow continued to fall at the same constant rate. Joe graphed a line to represent the snowfall. What should be the slope of joes line

Answer 1

The minutes will be ur x axis and the cm of snow will be ur y axis

(10,2),(30,3.6).....using 2 points and the slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

slope = (3.6 - 2) / (30 - 10) = 1.6 / 20 = 0.08 cm per minute <===
