Question

The meaning of the slope in the context of the problem is,

  1. It costs $3 for each book.
  2. The cost of 3 books.
  3. Each book costs $1.
  4. $1 for 3 books.

The correct answer is: It costs $3 for each book.


    The meaning of the slope in the context of the problem is it costs $3 for each book.
    from graph we can see that line is passing through (5,30) and (15,60)
    slope of line passing through (x1,y1) and(x2,y2) is y2-y1/x2-x1
    slope=60-30/15-5
    slope=3
    slope =y/x=total expenses/number of book
    so cost of 1 book will be $3
