Question

Jane is walking the number of miles she has walked varies directly within the number of calories she has burned see the graph a) how many minutes does Jane walk per calorie burnb) what is the slope of the graph

Answer 1

We want to find

minutes per calorie

Looking at the graph, we see that it goes through (0,0) so we can pick a point on the graph to use

(100 calories, 10 minutes)

10 minutes/ 100 calories

Simplify

Divide by 100

.1 minute/ calorie

This is also the slope of the graph

.1 minute / calorie
