Answer:
increasing
the slope is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
just got it right on e d g e n u i t y ! : )
The slope for this scenario of X (every mile driven in cab) and Y (cost ) is 2 and the slope is increasing.
X 1.25 2.50 3.75 5 6.25
Y 7.50 10.0 12.5 15 17.5
[tex]x_{1}= 1.25 \\ x_{2} = 2.50 \\ y_{1}=7.50 \\y_{2}=10[/tex]
What is the Slope?
The slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line. It is represented by m.
[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
Substitute all the required values in Slope formula, we get
[tex]m =\frac{10-7.50}{2.50-1.25}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{2.50}{1.25}[/tex]
[tex]m=2[/tex]
Thus, the slope of the given scenario is 2 and X and Y are increasing simultaneously as well as slope is positive. So, we can say it is a increasing slope.
