Jessica has 16 pairs of shoes. She buys 2 additional pair of shoes every month. What is the slope in this situation?

Set up a graph where months is on the x-axis and number of shoes Jessica owns is on the y-axis.
  1. Month 1 = (1, 18)
  2. Month 2 = (2, 20)
  3. Month 3 = (3, 22)
  4. Month 4 = (4, 24)
You can see for every 1 unit move in x, we get a 2 unit move in y.

Pick any of these 2 points, and use our slope calculator to get:
Slope = 2
