The slope of the graph can be calculated using the formula:
Slope = change in y / change in x
In this case, the change in y is 500 calories and the change in x is 2 yogurt drinks. Therefore:
Slope = (500 calories) / (2 yogurt drinks) = 250 calories per yogurt drink
The slope of the graph is 250 calories per yogurt drink. This means that for every additional yogurt drink consumed, the total number of calories increases by 250. This indicates that each yogurt drink contributes 250 calories to the total calorie count.
The graph shows the relationship between the number of yogurt drinks and the total number of calories.
A graph shows amount of calories by number of yogurt drinks. A line starts at (0, 0) and passes through (2, 500).
What is the slope of the graph and what does it mean in terms of the context? Explain.
