The slope of the data can be calculated using the formula: slope = (change in y) / (change in x).
By looking at the points given, we can see that as x increases by 1 (from 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, and 5 to 6), y increases by 25 (from 25 to 50, 50 to 75, 75 to 100, and 100 to 125).
Therefore, the change in y is 25 and the change in x is 1.
So, the slope = 25 / 1 = 25.
Therefore, the slope of the data is 25.

Question
Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane of quadrant 1 is titled Total Amount Paid versus Hours Worked. The x-axis labeled Hours Worked ranges from 2 to 6 in increments of 1. The y-axis labeled Total Paid ranges from 0 to 125 in increments of 25. Five points plotted on the plane have the following coordinates: left parenthesis 2 comma 25 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 50 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 75 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 100 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 6 comma 125 right parenthesis.
