This exercise explores elementary properties of linear functions.
Suppose y is a linear function of x. Increasing x by 2.4 units causes a 7.8-unit increase in y. What is the slope? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
______ units per unit
slope = change in y / change in x = 7.8 / 2.4 = 3.25 = 3 + 1/4 = 13/4
