The slope of the graph represents the rate of ascent of the hot air balloon.

If we assume that the slope indicates that for every 4 minutes, the height increases by 400 feet, then the correct interpretation of the slope would be:

For every four minutes that pass, the balloon rises 400 feet.

This response accurately reflects the relationship between time and height based on the information provided.
