Question

ms. joseph is dropping marbles into a cylinder one at a time. she records the volume of whats in the cylinder after each marble is dropped in. what does the slope of 2 mean in this situation? the slope is the rate of change, or the amount the volume increases by for every marble added. the volume is 2 ml when 2 marbles are added. the volume increases 1 ml for every 2 marbles added. the volume increases 2 ml for every 1 marble added.

Explanation:

The slope represents the rate of change of volume (y-axis) with respect to the number of marbles (x-axis). A slope of 2 means for each 1-unit increase in x (marbles), y (volume) increases by 2 units (mL).

Answer:

The volume increases 2 mL for every 1 marble added.
