Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope between two points is calculated by the change in y over the change in x. From A to B, the price (y-axis) increases from $0 to $4, and the quantity (x-axis) decreases from 20 to 0. Thus, the slope is (4 - 0) / (0 - 20) = 4 / -20 = -1/5, which simplifies to -0.2. However, none of the provided options match this calculation directly, indicating a misunderstanding in the interpretation of the options. Given the options, the closest interpretation based on standard slope calculation methods would be to recognize an error in the calculation or interpretation process. Re-evaluating for a direct answer based on the provided options and typical slope calculation misunderstandings.
