Question

What is the ratio of the change in y-values to the change in x-values?

Answer 1

The ratio of change between x and y is 1:1,200 or the second answer choice because as x increases by 1, y increases by 1;1200.

Answer 2

1200:1

Explanation:

The change in y-values between any two points is 1200:

2400-1200 = 1200;

3600-2400 = 1200;

4800-3600 = 1200

The change in x-values between any two points is 1:

2-1 = 1;

3-2 = 1;

4-3 = 1

This means the ratio of change in y-values to change in x-values is 1200:1.
