Question

Help , I have like no clue on what I'm doing​

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll select $(1,135)$ and $(2,170)$ for this problem.

The slope is defined as the rate of change. Its formula is $Slope=m=\frac{Rise}{Run}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where our two points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$.

Therefore, we have $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{170-135}{2-1}=\frac{35}{1}=35$ as our slope.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations can have the form y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and equals Δy/Δx

and b is the y intercept.

Just for fun, let's choose the first and last sets of data points.

Δy = (275 - 135) = 140

Δx = (5 - 1) = 4

so slope m = 140/4 = 35    and the units on the slope would be $/month
