The slope is 10 over 1, this means for every serving of potato chips there are 10 grams of saturated fat

The slope is 110
, this means for every serving of potato chips there are 10 grams of saturated fat
The slope is 1 tenth, this means for every serving of potato chips there are 10 grams of saturated fat

The slope is 110
, this means for every 10 servings of potato chips there is 1 gram of saturated fat

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

The slope is 10 over 1, this means for every 10 servings of potato chips there is 1 gram of saturated fat.

This is because the slope represents the rate of change between two variables, in this case, the number of servings of potato chips and the amount of saturated fat. A slope of 10 over 1 means that for every 10 servings of potato chips, there is an increase of 1 gram of saturated fat.
