Answer:

The unit rate is 2 feet per year

Explanation:

The graph is missing (See attachment)

To determine the unit growth;

First, we have to pick any two corresponding on the x and y axis

When x = 5; y = 10

When x = 1; y = 2

These can be represented as;


(x_1,y_1) = (5,10)


(x_2,y_2) = (1,2)

Next, is to determine the slope using;


m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

Substitute values for x and y


m = (2 - 10)/(1 - 5)


m = (-8)/(-4)


m = 2

Hence, the unit rate is 2 feet per year
