Question

Oliver and Robin have different stride lengths and want to compare them. Oliver uses a table to represent the distance he travels in feet related tothe number of strides he takes. Question 2 Using Robin's graph, how can you find the unit rate?

Answer 1

The grpah is plotted with the number of strides along the x axis and the distance travelled along the y axis.

So, the slope of the graph gives the distance travelled by Robin per stride or the stride length. The approximate value of slope of the graph is,

`\text{Slope}=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(8-0)/(3-0)=(8)/(3)=2.67`

So, the stride length or the unit rate of Robin is approximately 2.67 feet.
