Mrs. Brown hosts an yearly art contest keeps a record of the number of entries each year. 1. What is the slope of the line from 2016 to 2017?

2. Between what months did the number of entries increase the most?
_ to _

1. Slope = rate of change
Shown on the graph, for 2016 there are 36 entries. For 2017, there are 40
Since it’s only one year
You can subtract 36 from 40
40 - 36 = 4
Solution: the slope is 4

2. Months increase the most, the lines which are steeper and going upward (since it’s increasing)
Solution: from 2015 to 2016
