Question 210378: Hi,
I'm having a little difficulty completing my project for algebra. Here's my question........
In a plotted graph, the x-axis represent weight and the y-axis represent miles. What would a slope of -13/22 mean?

Is it for every 13 miles decreasing the weight decreases by 22 pounds??????

Close ... but not quite
For each decrease of 13 miles (-13), the weight increases by 22 (22)
