Answer to Question 1

The slope of a line is a measure that indicates whether the relationship between the variables is positive or negative. It tells us how much of a response there is in variable y (on the vertical axis) when variable x (on the horizontal axis) changes. The slope is calculated by taking the change in variable y and dividing by the change in variable x.

Answer to Question 2

The owner should lower the price of ice cream cones. Since demand is elastic, the percentage increase in quantity demanded will be larger than the percentage decrease in price. Therefore, total revenue will rise.
