The graph below shows the sales of a popular song each week it was in a Top 40 song chart.
which statement most accurately describes the slope of the graph
A. The sales increased by 1 hundred thousand every 2 weeks.
B. The sales decreased by 1 hundred thousand every 2 weeks. ***
C. The sales increased by 1 hundred thousand every 3 weeks.
D. The sales decreased by 1 hundred thousand every 3 weeks.
I have a chart with dots going down. A dot is on a line, then one dot is in the middle of a line, a dot is on a line, then one dot is in the middle of a line, etc.
If each line represents 100 sales, then you are correct.
To determine the slope of the graph, we need to look at the pattern of the points on the graph. Since the graph shows the sales of a popular song each week, and the dots on the graph are alternating between being on the line and being in the middle of the line, it indicates that there is a decrease in sales every other week.
Looking at the given answer choices:
A. The sales increased by 1 hundred thousand every 2 weeks.
B. The sales decreased by 1 hundred thousand every 2 weeks. ***
C. The sales increased by 1 hundred thousand every 3 weeks.
D. The sales decreased by 1 hundred thousand every 3 weeks.
Based on the given graph, the most accurate statement is B. The sales decreased by 1 hundred thousand every 2 weeks.
