The graph shows the membership of a student group: x represents the number of years since the group was formed and y represents the number of members. The equation is y = 14x + 10.

Which is true regarding the slope?

Membership grows by 14 each year.

The group was formed with 14 members.

Membership is recorded every 14 years.

we conclude that Membership grows by 14 each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

Comparing the equation with the slope-intercept form

Here, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

From the equation, we can determine the slope

        ∵  

Hence, the slope is m=16.

We know that the slope is referred to as the 'rate of change'.

For example, if you have a part-time job at a store. You save for her tour at a rate of $20 every week. It means, your rate of change will be $20 per week.

So given the equation

m = rate of change = slope = 24

The slope is basically a vertical change divided by the horizontal change.

Therefore, we conclude that Membership grows by 14 each year.
