The table below represents the total number of laps Jessica swam in the pool this summer:

Week Laps

1 18

2 28

3 38

4 48


If the linear function representing the number of laps Jessica swam each week is f(w) = 10w + 8, what does the 10 represent in this function?


The number of laps Jessica swam in week 0

The week of the summer that Jessica swam

The number of laps Jessica swam in total

The number of laps Jessica increased her swim by each week

Compare the linear function given with the slope-intercept form of a line, given by,

\(y=mx+b\)

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


Comparing tells us that 10 is the slope. What does it mean?

It means for every unit increase in w (weeks), there is a 10 unit increase in number of laps.

This is choice 4.


ANSWER: "The number of laps Jessica increased her swim by each week"
