Question

Give the slope of the graph and the unit rate. Express your answers as simplified fractions, if necessary.


Jorge: 2 miles every 3 hours




The slope of the graph is
His unit rate is

Answer 1

Slope is rise over run, so find another coordinate that isn't the origin

Answer 2

e.e let's just take (2,3) then, iwht the origin, so we see that it goes up 2, and to the right 3, and slope is rise over run so the slope is .... __

Then for unit rate, it's the same thing as slope in this case

Answer 3

Um..I'm still VERY confused

Answer 4

@snowflake0531

Answer 5

Pick a point on the graph

Answer 6

Although (2,3) is not a point on this graph, you can still use another point


In this case I used (6,4)

Going back to what snowflake said, the slope is \(\dfrac{"rise"}{"run"}\)

Answer 7

Rise being how much it goes "up" or "down" (Up is positive and down is negative)

Run being how much it goes "left" or "right" (Left is negative, right is positive)


In this case it goes up 4 units up and 6 units to the right


\(\dfrac{4}{6}\) (You can simplify this but does it make sense?)

Answer 8

yeah

Answer 9

Is the unit rate, 1.5?

Answer 10

@dude is the answer for the unit rate, 1.5?

Answer 11

The slope is the same as the rate

It is not 1.5 s:

(Remember: Use \(\dfrac{4}{6}\))
