Question

What is the unit rate of each point (10,2.4) (15, 3.6) (17.5, 4.2)

Answer 1

0.24

Explanation:

Given the points (10,2.4) (15, 3.6) (17.5, 4.2)

The unit rate is the slope of the line joining any of the two points.

Using points (10,2.4) and (15, 3.6)

`Slope, m=(3.6-2.4)/(15-10) \\=(1.2)/(5) \\\\=(6)/(25)`

=0.24

Using points (10,2.4) and (17.5, 4.2)

`Slope, m=(4.2-2.4)/(17.5-10) \\=(1.8)/(7.5) \\\\=(6)/(25)\\=0.24`

Therefore, the unit rate for each point is 0.24
