Answer 1

C.

Explanation:

❌Option A is incorrect

Rationale: from the graph, 1 hr on the x-axis doesn't correspond to $100 on the y-axis

❌Option B is incorrect

Rationale: from the graph, 2 hrs on the x-axis doesn't correspond to $200 on the y-axis. It can't also be the unit rate because unit rate would be the amount of dollars per 1 hr.

✅Option C is CORRECT

Rationale: from the graph, 8 hrs on the x-axis corresponds to $500 on the y-axis

❌Option D is incorrect

Rationale: from the graph, 4 hr on the x-axis doesn't correspond to $300 on the y-axis
