Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations can have the form y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and equals Δy/Δx

and b is the y intercept.

Just for fun, let's choose the first and last sets of data points.

Δy = (275 - 135) = 140

Δx = (5 - 1) = 4

so slope m = 140/4 = 35    and the units on the slope would be $/month

Answer:

The slope of the line is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll select [tex](1,135)[/tex] and [tex](2,170)[/tex] for this problem.

The slope is defined as the rate of change. Its formula is [tex]Slope=m=\frac{Rise}{Run}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where our two points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex].

Therefore, we have [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{170-135}{2-1}=\frac{35}{1}=35[/tex] as our slope.
