The linear equation c=0.1998s+76.4520 models the number of calories c in a beef hot dog as a function of the amount of sodium s, in milligrams, in the hot dog. what is the slope, and what does it mean in this context?

The slope of the linear equation is 0.1998.

It means that the calories in a beef hot dog is increasing with the rate of 0.1998 calories per milligram of sodium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The linear equation models the number of calories c in a beef hot dog as a function of the amount of sodium s, in milligrams, in the hot dog.

Here, c is a dependent variable on the variable s.

The standard form of linear equation with slope 'm' is give by :-

, where y is a dependent variable on the variable x.

As compared to the given linear equation, we get the slope of the given linear equation :-

It means that the calories in a beef hot dog is increasing with the rate of 0.1998 calories per milligram of sodium.
