    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
