Solution

The slope of the line in this context represents how much the sunflower grows, in inches, each week. This is because the slope of a line in a graph generally represents the rate of change between the two variables. In this case, the variables are time (in weeks) and the height of the sunflower (in inches). So, the slope shows the change in the sunflower's height for each week that passes.

The graph shows how many cups of water are needed for eachcup of flour in a pizza dough recipe.The line contains the points (0,0) and (5,3).Between these points there is a rise of ____ units anda run of _____ units.Slope is the ratio of rise to run, so the slope of the line is, .Key Terms The rise is the ____-value of the second point minus the ____-value of the first point.The run is the ____-value of the second point minus the ____-value of the first point.We calculate slope using the ratio of rise over run.So, for any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), slope = 𝑦2 − 𝑦1𝑥2 − 𝑥1Example:Calculate the slope of the line joining the points (2, 4) and (3, 6).slope = 6 −2 1 =− = _____Reversing the order of the points gives a different the same slope value.
