Answer:

The slope of line representing Luigi's numbers from 30 seconds to 60 seconds is [tex]\frac{41}{30}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

At 30 seconds, he collected 14 coins

At 60 seconds, he collected 55 coins

time difference, Δt = 60 - 30

⇒ Δt = 30 seconds

additional coins collected in this time, Δc = 55 - 14

⇒ Δc = 41 coins

Now, slope of the line = Δc/Δt = [tex]\frac{41}{30}[/tex]

∴ The slope of line representing Luigi's numbers from 30 seconds to 60 seconds is [tex]\frac{41}{30}[/tex] coins/sec
