Question

The table shows the distance traveled over time while traveling at a constant speed.



What is the ratio of the change in y-values to the change in x-values?

1:900

1:1,200

900:1

1,200:1

​

Answer 1

D) 1,200 meters per minute

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Last option.

Explanation:

You can observe in the table provided that the values of "x" represent the time in minutes and the values of "y" represent the distance in meters.

Then, in order to find the ratio of the change in y-values to the change in x-values, you can divide any value of "y" (distance) by its corresponding value of "x" (time).

So, this is:

`(2,400)/(2)=(1,200)/(1)`

Since the ratio can also be written in the form
`a:b`, you get:

`1,200:1`
