Question

The table I drew horribly shows the amount of money a plumber charges for different numbers of hours that he works.
What is the slope of the line that represents this situation?

Answer 1

Pick any two y values and the corresponding x values
Slope = \(\Large \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 2

x values are the hours worked
y values are the charges

Answer 3

So the slope would be 48, correct? Or would I leave it as 96/2?

Answer 4

yep slope is 48

Answer 5

Thanks to both of you! :)
