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?


The slope of 800 indicates that during his 12 years at the school, John's salary has increased by approximately $800 per year.
