Answer 1

A line passes through the origin and the point (2, 6). The x-axis represents time in minutes, and the y-axis represents gallons. What rate does the slope represent?


A.
12 minutes per gallon

B.
3 gallons per minute

C.
2 gallons per 6 minutes

D.
3 minutes per gallon

Answer 2

I think its D

Answer 3

Please explain why you think "it's D." Please show your work.

Answer 4

3 gallons per minute because you would divided the two to were it would come down to (1,3)

Answer 5

origin is (0,0).....x1 = 0 and y1 = 0
(2,6)...x2 = 2 and y2 = 6
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
now we sub
slope(m) = (6 - 0) / (2 - 0)
slope(m) = 6/2 which reduces to 3/1

Answer 6

but you originally chose D. Why? Again, what are the units of measurement?
Are you now able to choose the correct answer?

Answer 7

im correct
