Question

a bucket starts with 6 milliliters of water in it. cameron is dropping marbles into the bucket one at a time. he records the volume in the bucket after each marble is dropped in. the graph below shows the relationship between the number of marbles and the volume in the bucket. you found that the change in vertical distance is 12 for a change in horizontal distance of 3, try again to find the slope. slope = \\(\frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}}\\) = \\(\square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

$\text{slope} = \frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}}$

Step2: Substitute given values

$\text{slope} = \frac{12}{3}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\text{slope} = 4$

Answer:

4
