(the x axis is: Distance (miles)

Answer 1

I guess you are trying to find the slope. So pick two points from the graph then use the formula to find the slope.
\[\text{Slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

That is also represented (in simplified form) as \[\text{Slope}=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\]

Answer 2

Slope represents the rate of something being done. Basically in this case it would be how much fare is covered per mile.

Answer 3

what is the triangle for/

Answer 4

You just need to replace the "how much fare" with the slope.

Answer 5

What do you mean the triangle? Like the rise/run representation?

Answer 6

Δ
in the slope formula thing

Answer 7

how do i put the points (3, 2) in the formula?

Answer 8

That's a Greek symbol that means "Delta". "Delta" just translates, in math, to "change".

(Change in \(y\))/(Change in \(x\))

Answer 9

Slope:

Answer 10

like that?

Answer 11

I don't think that is the slope. Did you pick two points?

Answer 12

the points are 3, 2

Answer 13

The points need to be on the line. And by the two points I mean you need to have two coordinates, like (x,y) and (a,b) for example.

Answer 14

8, 2/

Answer 15

those are on the line, yes?

Answer 16

Do you mean (8,2)? Well check if the line crosses through that point. If not, then it's not on the line.

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

Please check more carefully. (8,2) is not on the line.

Answer 19

I will give you one point, the y-intercept which is (0,3). Find another one.

Answer 20

wait
is 2,8 on the line?

Answer 21

Yes

Answer 22

oh thats what i meant sorru

Answer 23

Now use the formula to find the slope.

We can designate
