The rate at which a professional tennis player used carbohydrates during a strenuous workout was found to be 1.4 grams per minute. If a line were graphed showing time (in minutes) on the horizontal axis and carbohydrates used (in grams) on the vertical axis, what would be the slope of the line?
The slope of the line would represent the rate at which carbohydrates were being used, which in this case is 1.4 grams per minute. So, the slope of the line would be 1.4.
