Question

The graph shows the distance a car traveled, y, in x hours: What is the rise-over-run value for the relationship represented in the graph?

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

point 1 (2 , 60) x1 = 2 y1 = 60

point 2 (4 , 120) x2 = 4 y2 = 120

Step 02:

slope formula

`m\text{ = }(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`
`m\text{ = }(120-60)/(4-2)=\text{ }(60)/(2)=30`

The answer is:

30
