The slope of a graph is the rate of change of the graph.
- The slope of the graph is 10
- 1 calories is burned in every 0.1 minute.
From the graph, we have the following points.
[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) = (0,0)(10,100)}[/tex]
The slope (m) is calculated as follows:
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{100 - 0}{10-0}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{100}{10}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{m = 10}[/tex]
Hence, the slope of the graph is 10
The number of minutes per calories burned is the inverse of the slope.
[tex]\mathbf{Minutes = \frac{1}{10}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Minutes = 0.1}[/tex]
Hence, 1 calories is burned in every 0.1 minute.
