The stretch of a spring in millimeters is proportional to the weight in grams attached to the end of the spring. Find the unit rate.
To find the unit rate, we need to determine how many millimeters of stretch there is for each gram of weight.
Let's say the stretch of the spring is measured in millimeters and the weight is measured in grams. We can express this relationship as:
stretch (mm) = weight (g)
Now, let's find the proportionality constant. Let's assume that when a weight of 1 gram is attached to the spring, the stretch is 1 millimeter. In this case, we can write:
1 mm = 1 g
So, the unit rate is 1 millimeter of stretch per 1 gram of weight, or simply 1 mm/g.
i wish i can show you the graph but i cant
I apologize for the inconvenience, but since you're unable to show the graph, I can't analyze it. However, if you have any specific questions or need assistance with a particular problem related to the graph, I'd be happy to help you based on the information you provide.
its hard to explain though
I understand that it can be challenging to explain a graph without visualizing it. If you can provide me with some key points or specific details from the graph, I will do my best to assist you. Alternatively, you may consider seeking further assistance from a tutor or instructor who can physically see the graph and provide more accurate guidance.

In order to identify the constant of proportionality from the graph, we need to look for a straight line that passes through the origin. The constant of proportionality, also known as the slope of the line, is the ratio of the change in the dependent variable (stretch) to the change in the independent variable (weight).
As the options provided do not mention units or specify which variable is the dependent variable and which is the independent variable, I am unable to determine the correct answer without further information. Could you please provide more details about the options or provide any additional context related to the graph?
Bot I need help
To find the unit rate, we need to determine how much the stretch of the spring changes per gram of weight attached.
Let's assume that for every gram of weight attached to the spring, the stretch increases by "k" millimeters.
To calculate the unit rate, we can divide the change in the stretch of the spring (in millimeters) by the change in weight (in grams). However, since the problem states that the stretch is proportional to the weight, we can say that the unit rate is a constant value, which is "k".
So, the unit rate between the stretch of the spring and the weight attached is "k" millimeters per gram.
To find the actual value of "k" for a specific spring, you would need to conduct an experiment or refer to the specifications provided by the manufacturer.
