To find the slope for the bales of hay and mules, we can use the formula: slope = (change in y) / (change in x).
From the given figures, the change in mules is 8 - 2 = 6, and the change in bales of hay is 4 - 1 = 3.
Therefore, the slope for the bales of hay and mules is 3/6 = 1/2.
To determine the slope for cost and square footage of carpet, we need more information as only the figures for mules and bales of hay are given.
It is not possible to determine which situation has the greatest rate of change without additional information.
