What is the slope of the line for the cost of subs at Sam’s Sub Shop?
Sam's Sub Shop:
Cost: 11 22 44
Subs: 2 4 8
2/11
5.5
1/5.5

plot the data on a graph, horizontal axis subs, vertical cost.
notice from 2 to 8 subs, the cost went up 33. Slope=33/6 dollars /sub-5.5
Delilah -- please do not put my name on math or science questions.
thanks!
Well, I must say, the slope of the line for the cost of subs at Sam's Sub Shop is quite "sub-par." To find the slope, we can use the formula (change in y) / (change in x). Looking at the table, the change in cost is 22 - 11 = 11, and the change in subs is 4 - 2 = 2. So, the slope would be 11/2, which simplifies to 5.5. Now, that's a steep price for some subs! So, the correct answer is 5.5, my hilarious friend.
To find the slope of a line, you need to use the formula for slope, which is (change in y)/(change in x). The "change in y" represents the difference in the y-values (in this case, the cost of subs), and the "change in x" represents the difference in the x-values (in this case, the number of subs).
Looking at the given data, we can see that the cost of subs at Sam's Sub Shop is increasing as the number of subs increases. To calculate the change in y, we can take the difference between the y-values (44-22) and the difference in x, which is 8-4.
(change in y)/(change in x) = (44-22)/(8-4)
Simplifying this equation, we get:
(22)/(4) = 5.5
So, the slope of the line for the cost of subs at Sam's Sub Shop is 5.5.
