Meat costs $8.00 per pound at a store. What is the slope?

The slope is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to graph the price of meat per pound, you would need to choose the x-axis and y-axis labels.

The x-axis is the independent variable, meat in pounds.

The y-axis is the dependent variable, price in dollars.

The price depends on the number of pounds you buy.

Slope is calculated using rise over run, or:

"Rise" is the number of squares going up.

"Run" is the number of squares going to the right.

In the graph below, to go from one red dot to the next, you count 1 to the right and 8 going up.

Therefore, the slope is 8.
