Question

a bowl starts with 7 milliliters of water in it. kelly is dropping marbles into the bowl one at a time. she records the volume in the bowl after each marble is dropped in. the graph below shows the relationship between the number of marbles and the volume in the bowl. you found that the change in vertical distance is 9 for a change in horizontal distance of 3. try again to find the slope. slope = \frac{vertical distance}{horizontal distance} = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

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

Step2: Substitute given values

$\text{slope} = \frac{9}{3}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\text{slope} = 3$

Answer:

3
