Question

Slope and Unit rate.

Answer 1

1.25


start at origin and plot a point at (5,4) y=1 1/4x

The unit rate and slope represent how much the corner market makes per papaya

Second problem :

The plant grew 2 inches in the span on 4 weeks

unit rate is 1/2
y=1/2x


they represent that the plant is growing 1/2 an inch per week.

Answer 2

First problem:

$3.75/3 papayas = $1.25/papaya

The slope of this line is 1.25 = 5/4.

The unit rate and the slope of the line represent the cost of each papaya.

Second problem:

The unit rate is 0.5 inch/week (1/2 inch per week).

The slope of the line that best represents the height of the plant is 1/2.

The unit rate and the slope of the line represent the rate of increase in the height of the plant per week.
