Question

The graph shows a proportional relationship between the number of kilometers traveled by a bicycle (y) and the number of minutes (x).

A graph with a line running through coordinates (0,0) and coordinates (40,12)

What is the unit rate, expressed in kilometers per minute?

Answer 1

The answer is 3/10, or 0.30 also known as 0.3

Hope I helped, probably not, but ok.

Answer 2

Given a graph with a line running through coordinates (0,0) and coordinates (40,12), the unit rate of the relationship between the number of kilometers traveled by a bicycle (y) and the number of minutes (x) is given by the slope of the line.

Therefore, the unit rate is given by:


`Unit\ rate= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \\ = (12-0)/(40-0) = (12)/(40) = (3)/(10)\ kilometers\ per\ minute`
