Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
w is the classmate's weight in pounds
h is the height
The general formula for the expression is y = MX+c where
m is the slope
c is the intercept
M is the change in y to change in x
Comparing with the given equation
w = 6.5h - 275, we will see that the slope of the equation is 6.5 and can be expressed as the change in the classmate's height to the classmate's weight
slope = dh/dw = 6.5
