To interpret the slope of the graph of the hot air balloon's ascent, you need to determine how much the height changes over a specific time interval.

The correct interpretation of the slope is:

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

This means that for each 4-minute period, the vertical change (height) of the balloon is 400 feet, indicating a steady ascent rate.

whats the answer

The correct answer is:

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

This response accurately describes the slope of the graph representing the hot air balloon's ascent.
