    A school conducts 27 tests in 36 weeks. Assume the school conducts tests at a constant rate. What is the slope of the line that represents the number of tests on the y-axis and the time in weeks on the x-axis?

    Slope = Rise/Run or y/x

    Since tests are on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis, we have:
    Slope = 27/36

    We can simplify this, so we type in 27/36 into our search engine, and get:
    Slope = 3/4
