Answer 1

Slope of the given data is 579.88

What is Slope?

The slope of a line is defined as the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate of that line.

Here, given data;

            x₁ = 2009                   y₁ = 12078 burger

            x₂ = 2017                    y₂ = 16717 burger

Now, Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

         Slope = (16717 - 12078) / (2017 - 2009)

         Slope = 4639 / 8

         Slope = 579.88

Thus, Slope of the given data is 579.88
