a. The slope for the bales of hay and mules is the change in bales of hay divided by the change in number of mules. This could represent the rate at which the number of bales of hay changes with respect to the number of mules.
b. The slope for cost and square footage of carpet is the change in cost divided by the change in square footage of carpet. This could represent the rate at which the cost changes with respect to the square footage of carpet.
c. To determine which situation has the greatest rate of change, we would need specific values for the slopes in both situations. Without this information, we cannot definitively determine which situation has the greatest rate of change.
