Answer 1

To find the slope of the arithmetic sequence, we need to determine the difference between the number of muffins baked on consecutive days.

• From day one to day two: \( 11 - 5 = 6 \)

• From day two to day three: \( 17 - 11 = 6 \)

The common difference, or slope of the sequence, is \( 6 \).

So, the answer is \( 6 \).

Answer 3

It seems there may be confusion in interpreting the question about the slope or common difference in an arithmetic sequence. In this case:

1. Day 1: Baked 5 muffins
2. Day 2: Baked 11 muffins
3. Day 3: Baked 17 muffins

To find the slope (common difference) between the days:

• From Day 1 to Day 2: \( 11 - 5 = 6 \)

• From Day 2 to Day 3: \( 17 - 11 = 6 \)

In both cases, the difference is \( 6 \).

Thus, the slope for this arithmetic sequence is indeed \( 6 \). If you were expecting a different interpretation or context, please clarify so I can assist you better!
