Linking America

In major league ballparks, Americans will consume ______________________ hotdogs. That’s enough to stretch from Yankee Stadium in New York City to Dodgers’ Stadium in Los Angeles!!

Find the slope for each problem. Write the letter and the number of the correct answer in the blank in front of the problem. The letters written in order will spell out the answer to the question.

Be sure to show your work!

Hint: The formula for slope when given 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,Y2) is

slope = m = y2-y1 Example: Find the slope of the points, (3,5) and (5,9). m = ((9 - 5)/(5-3)) = 4/2 = 2
