Jessica is selling books during the summer to earn money for college. She earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her own expenses.
After a month of driving from neighborhood to neighborhood and walking
door-to-door, she figures out that her weekly earnings are approximately a
linear function of the number of doors she knocks on.
She writes the equation of the function like this: E() = 10x- 35, where xis the
number of doors she knocks on during the week and E(x) is her earnings for
the week in dollars.
What does the slope of Jessica's function represent?
