The scatter plot below shows the number of prom tickets sold over a period of 7 days. The line of best fit drawn on the plot shown is used to predict the number of tickets sold on a certain day. Use the two points shown on the line of best fit to calculate its slope to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The slope is [tex]4.2\ \frac{tickets}{day}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Let

x ----> the number of days

y ---> the number of tickets sold

we have the points

(1,30) and (7,55)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

substitute the given values in the formula

[tex]m=\frac{55-30}{7-1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{25}{6}[/tex]

[tex]m=4.2\ \frac{tickets}{day}[/tex]
