Question

The scale on a map reads 4 cm = 1.6 m. The relationship on the map is graphed on a coordinate grid, with centimeters on the y -axis and meters on the x -axis. The rate of change is: blank blank per blank

a. 0.4
b. 2.5
c. centimeters
d. meters

Answer 1

the answer is 2.5!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

To find the rate of change, we need to determine how much the value on the y-axis changes for every unit change on the x-axis.

The scale on the map reads 4 cm = 1.6 m, which means that for every 1 meter on the x-axis, there are 2.5 centimeters on the y-axis (since 4 cm is equivalent to 1.6 m, we can divide both sides by 1.6 to get 1 cm is equivalent to 0.4 m, or 2.5 cm is equivalent to 1 m).

Therefore, the rate of change on this graph is:

2.5 centimeters per meter

Or, we can express this as:

2.5 cm/m
