Question

Find the slope of the graph and the unit rate

Answer 1

For the 1st graph

Slope =
`(6)/(10)`

Unit rate =
`0.6` mi/h

For the 2nd graph

Slope =
`(9)/(4)`

Unit rate =
`2.25` mi/h=

Explanation:

For the 1st graph

Slope is given as
`(Rise)/(Run)`

Rise =
`(6-0) = 6`

Run =
`(10-0) = 10`

Therefore,

Slope =
`(6)/(10)`

Unit rate =
`(6)/(10)`

=
`0.6` mi/h

For the 2nd graph

Rise =
`(9-0) = 6`

Run =
`(4-0) = 10`

Therefore,

Slope =
`(9)/(4)`

Unit rate =
`(9)/(4)`

=
`2.25` mi/h
