The slope of a linear function is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

In this problem:

  • 3 minutes since resuming the download 6720 total MegaBytes (MB).
  • 5 minutes since resuming the download 10560 total MegaBytes (MB) of the file had been downloaded..
  • Hence, in 2 minutes, there was a change of 10560 - 6720 = 3840 MB, which means that the slope is:

[tex]m  = \frac{3840}{2} = 1920[/tex]
