To find the slope of the arithmetic sequence given in the problem, we first need to determine the common difference between the terms.
The number of muffins they baked each day is as follows:
- Day 1: 5 muffins
- Day 2: 11 muffins
- Day 3: 17 muffins
Now, let's calculate the differences between consecutive days:
- From Day 1 to Day 2: \( 11 - 5 = 6 \)
- From Day 2 to Day 3: \( 17 - 11 = 6 \)
The common difference (slope) of the arithmetic sequence is 6.
Thus, the correct response is:
**6**.
