Based on the information given, it seems like you need to determine slopes (rate of change) for different scenarios, but no specific figures or data were provided to analyze. However, I can guide you on how to calculate slopes if you had the necessary data.

**a. The slope for the bales of hay and mules:**
To find the slope, you would typically use the formula:
\[ \text{slope} = \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}} \]
You would need the quantity of bales of hay (y) corresponding to the number of mules (x) to compute this.

**b. The slope for cost and square footage of carpet:**
Similarly, you could use the same slope formula here, using the cost (y) and the square footage (x) of carpet to find the slope.

**c. Which situation has the greatest rate of change?**
After calculating the slopes for both situations, you would compare the absolute values of the slopes to determine which has the greatest rate of change.

If you provide the specific figures or data associated with bales of hay, mules, cost, and square footage, I can help you calculate the slopes and answer the questions directly.
