Question
Without graphing, tell whether the slope of a line that models each linear relationship is positive, negative, zero, or undefined. Then find the slope.The length of a bus route is 4 milong on the sixth day and 4 milong on theseventeenth day.
Step 1
In this case, the independent variable is the day number, and the dependent variable is the length of the bus route. Show more…

Calculating Slope
Plot the points in the table. Determine whether the slope of the line given by the points is positive or negative. $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & -1 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline y & -7 & -4 & -1 & 2 & 5 & 8 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
