Respuesta :

Using linear function concepts, it is found that the meaning of the slope is given by:

(B) the weekly change in the number of tickets sold.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

From this, we have that the slope represents a rate of change, hence, option B is correct.
