Question

George has a graph of a proportional relationship. Which point should he look at in order to read the unit rate?

a. (0, 0)
b. (1, y)
c. (x, 1)
d. (0, y)

Answer 1

George should look at point (x, 1) in order to read the unit rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point George should look at in order to read the unit rate is option c. (x, 1).

In a proportional relationship, the unit rate represents the constant ratio of the dependent variable (y) to the independent variable (x). In this case, the unit rate would be the ratio of y to x when x equals 1.

For example, if the graph represents a relationship between distance and time, and the unit rate is 5, it means that for every 1 unit of time, the distance increases by 5 units.
