The table shows several points on the graph of a linear function. Work it in order, to see connections between the slope formula, distance formula, midpoint formula, and linear functions. $$\begin{array}{c|r} x & y \\ \hline 0 & -6 \\ 1 & -3 \\ 2 & 0 \\ 3 & 3 \\ 4 & 6 \\ 5 & 9 \\ 6 & 12 \end{array}$$ Make a conjecture by filling in the blank: If we use any two points on a line to find its slope, we find that the slope is _____ in all cases.

Find the slope of each line and write a sentence using the slope as a rate of change. Don't forget to attach the proper units. See Example 9 The graph below shows the total cost $y$ (in dollars) of owning and operating a compact car (excluding the cost of the car), where $x$ is the number of miles driven.
