If the students express the total as a function of the number of weeks that the Penny Drive has been open, what is the slope of that function?

Answer :

The slope of the function is $400.

Definition of slope of a function

The slope of a function is the rate of change of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable. The equation that represents a function is: y = mx + b

Where:

  • y = dependent variable
  • m = independent variable
  • x = slope
  • b = constant

Looking at the total money raised, the amount of money increases by 400. This is the slope.
