The total number of hats h(w) Ms. Sutton knitted is a function of the number of weeks w since she decided to sell them at a craft fair, as shown in the table. The function is a linear function. What does the slope of the function represent? This table is of a function. A. Ms. Sutton knits 2 hats per week. B. Ms. Sutton knits 4 hats per week. C. Ms. Sutton knits a hat every 2 weeks. D. Ms. Sutton knits a hat every 4 weeks

I'm pretty sure the answer is B? well it may be wrong

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

no look: each 2 weeks 4 knits add. thus for for 1 week she knits 4/2=2 . 2 =>4 thus 2 knits per wekk

Directrix (directrix):

The slope is 2 so each time the week goes up by 1, the number of hats goes up by 2. Does any option match that?

OpenStudy (freemap):

A

Directrix (directrix):

When you chose B, you were looking at the increase in hats, thinking that was every week. If you look at the table and at the w values, you will see that they increase by 2. So, 4 hats, yes. But, over a two-week period. That would be 4/2 or 2 hats which is the slope.

OpenStudy (freemap):

so its C

Directrix (directrix):

No.

OpenStudy (freemap):

D

Directrix (directrix):

A. Ms. Sutton knits 2 hats per week. Remember, the slope is 2 or 2/1. As 1 week goes by, 2 hats are made.

I said a i thought you said it wasn't right. Thank you

Directrix (directrix):

This is the one that was not right: >> I'm pretty sure the answer is B? well it may be wrong
