The slope of a table is the average rate of change of the table.

Mandisa uses more balloons for each animal, than Amira

From the question, we understand that Amira uses 4 balloons per animal

To calculate the number of balloons used per animal by Mandisa, we simply calculate the slope of Mandisa's table (see attachment)

The slope is calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]

From the table, we have the following points

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) \to (20,225)\ (40,125)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{125 - 225}{40-20}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{-100}{20}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = -5}[/tex]

This means that Mandisa uses 5 balloons per animal

Hence, Mandisa uses more balloons for each animal, than Amira
