Question

(05.01)The graph shows the distance a car traveled, y, in x hours

What is the rise-over-run value for the relationship represented in the graph?
1 over 35
2 over 17
35
40

Answer 1

slope = rise / run

(1,35)(2,70)
slope = (70 - 35) / (2 - 1) = 35/1...rise = 35, run = 1

so its basically 35/1...or just 35

Answer 2

35

Explanation:

In rise over run value ( or slope ),

Rise is the unit that moved up or down while the run is the unit that moved from right to left or from left to right.

In the coordinates plane the difference between the y coordinates shows rise and difference in x coordinates shows run,

Thus, the rise over run value from (2,70) to (3,105) is,

`m=(105-70)/(3-2)`

`=(35)/(1)`

`=35`

In the given graph a line represents the relation between distance and time,

We know that the rise over run value for a line is same as the rise over run value for any two points in the line.

Hence, the rise-over-run value for the relationship represented in the graph is 35.

Third option is correct.
