In the table below, x represents the miles traveled and y represents the cost to travel by train.

miles, x
cost, y
2
8.50
5
15.25
8
22.00
12
31.00

what is the slope of this function?

0.44
0.63
2.25
22.50

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is given on miles travelled and the cost at 4 different points.

The given data is,

Point         Miles travelled                  Cost

                 (x co-ordinate)                (y  co-ordinate)

A                 2 (x1)                                      8.5(y1)

B                  5 (x2)                                 15.25(y2)

C                 8   (x3)                                     22(y3)

D                 12   (x4)                                    31(y4)

Slope of AB =   = 2.25

Slope of BC =   = 2.25

Slope of CD =   = 2.25

So,

slope of the line  = 2.25

step-by-step explanation:

m = 2e

m = 2 so 2 = 2e

1 = e
