Provide an appropriate response.John has been a teacher at West Side High School for the past 12 years. His salary during that time can be modeled by the linear equation y = 800x + 33,000 where x is the number of years since he began teaching at West Side and y is his salary in dollars. Explain what the slope, 800, represents in this context.
What will be an ideal response?
