Question
A graph can be used to show the number of miles that a car drives per hour. For every 5 hours, the distance of the car goes up by 100 miles.
What is slope of the graph in miles per hour (mph)?

To determine the slope of the graph representing the distance traveled by the car over time, we can use the formula for slope:
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{\text{change in distance}}{\text{change in time}}
\]
In this case, the change in distance is 100 miles, and the change in time is 5 hours.
Let's calculate the slope:
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{100 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 20 \text{ mph}
\]
Therefore, the slope of the graph is **20 miles per hour (mph)**.
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{\text{change in distance}}{\text{change in time}}
\]
In this case, the change in distance is 100 miles, and the change in time is 5 hours.
Let's calculate the slope:
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{100 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 20 \text{ mph}
\]
Therefore, the slope of the graph is **20 miles per hour (mph)**.
