Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Inches and ranges from 0 to 5 in one unit increments. The y-axis is labeled centimeters and ranges from 0 to 12 in 1 unit increments. The graph is titled Centimeters per Inch. A line connects five points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the labeled and plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 2.54 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 5.08 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 7.62 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 4 comma 10.16 right parenthesis.
Use the graph to determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch.

Based on the graph, we can see that the line connecting the five plotted points represents the relationship between inches and centimeters. By looking at the y-coordinate of the point (1, 2.54), we can determine that there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
To determine the number of centimeters in one inch, we need to look at the coordinates on the graph. The x-axis represents inches and the y-axis represents centimeters.
From the graph, we can see that the first point is (0, 0). This means that at 0 inches, there are 0 centimeters.
The second point is (1, 2.54). This means that at 1 inch, there are 2.54 centimeters.
Similarly, the third point is (2, 5.08), the fourth point is (3, 7.62), and the fifth point is (4, 10.16).
From these points, we can observe that for every increase of 1 inch on the x-axis, there is an increase of 2.54 centimeters on the y-axis.
Therefore, the number of centimeters in 1 inch is 2.54.
