Answer:
The slope of the line is 2. This means that Jan runs 2 laps every minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula ⇒ (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
(2,4) : x₁ = 2 and y₁ = 4
(5,10): x₂ = 5 and y₂ = 10
By substituting the values we get:
⇒ (10 - 4) / (5 - 2) = 6/3 = 2
∴ The slope of the line is 2. And this means that Jan runs 2 laps every minute.
