Question

ángel started hiking at an elevation of 2 meters above sea level. he hiked up at a rate of 3 meters per minute. the graph below represents the relationship between the number of minutes and the elevation. what is the slope of the line? slope =

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points on line

Choose $(x_1,y_1)=(0,2)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(3,11)$

Step2: Apply slope formula

Slope formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
Substitute values: $m=\frac{11-2}{3-0}=\frac{9}{3}=3$

Answer:

3
