Answer:

The rate of change (m) = 1.1

Option B is correct option.

Explanation:

Which rate of change (m), would represent this proportional relationship?

Rate of change can be found using slope formula:


Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

You can choose any two values of x and y from the table. I am choosing 1st and 2nd values

From the table we get:
x_1=2, y_1=2.2, x_2=4, y_2=4.4

Putting values in the formula and finding slope (rate of change)


Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\Slope=(4.4-2.2)/(4-2)\\Slope=(2.2)/(2)\\Slope=1.1

So, slope m = 1.1

The rate of change (m) = 1.1

Option B is correct option.
