To determine the slope regarding the mass of the stack of paper per sheet, we can define a linear relationship between the number of sheets and the mass.
The total mass of the stack of 200 sheets is 900 grams. The slope can be calculated by finding the mass per sheet, which is given by the following formula:
\[ \text{slope} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{number of sheets}} = \frac{900 \text{ grams}}{200 \text{ sheets}} \]
Calculating that:
\[ \text{slope} = \frac{900}{200} = 4.5 \text{ grams per sheet} \]
Thus, the slope (mass per sheet) is \(4.5\) grams per sheet.
