Question 729533: A line exists that charts the relationship between miles walked (x-axis) and calories burned (y-axis). Of two points on this line are (4,280) and (2,140), what is the slope of this line and what does this slope represent?

Look at the units for the numbers in the calculation of the slope. That tells you very clearly what the slope means. Your (x,y) points are ( miles walked, calories burned ).
