a school conducts 27 test in 36 weeks. assume the school conducts tests at a constant rate .what is the slope of the line that represents the number of tests on the y-axis and the time in weeks on the x- axis
The slope of a graph is base on the rise over run of the line connected by the points which composed of an X and Y coordinate. The rise of the line is its Y and the Run is X. Base on the assigning of variables of its x and y value, the slope is calculate by dividing the weeks by its test so the answer is 3 over 4 or 0.75
Answer: Slope of the line = 0.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of tests = 27
Number of weeks = 36
According to question,
Number of tests is on the y-axis and the time in weeks is on the x-axis.
So, the coordinates are the (0,27) and (36,0)
As we know the formula for "Slope of line":
\(m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m=\frac{27-0}{36-0}\\\\m=\frac{27}{36}\\\\m=\frac{3}{4}\\\\m=0.75\)
Hence, Slope of the line = 0.75.
