How can Nassir show the slope is constant and show what the constant slope represents in this situation? Drag and drop the correct option into each box to answer the question.

Nassir can draw vertical segments from any two points on the line to the ​ (a)   to form ​ (b)   triangles. This will show that the ​ (c)   change divided by the ​ (d)   change for any point on the line is the same, so the slope is constant. The constant slope represents the amount of water collected is the same ​ (e)   the watering can is filled.

Shari takes violin lessons. The equation 288x – 4y = -192 relates y, the total cost of the lessons, and x, the number of lessons. Shari incorrectly states that the slope of the line is 288. Why did Shari think that 288 was the slope? Choose one option from each drop-down menu to answer the question.

Shari thought that the ​ (a)   was the slope. She forgot to ​ (b)   . The correct slope is ​ ​ (c)   .

• write the equation in slope-intercept form.
• coefficient of x
• coefficient of y
• divide -192 by 4
• divide 288 by -4
• -48
• 72
• -72
• 48
• constant term
