slope as unit rate practice
centimeters per inch
use the graph to determine the number of centimers in 1 inch.
there are _ centimeters in 1 inch.
To determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch using the graph, you need to find the slope of the line on the graph, as the slope represents the unit rate.
1. Locate the line on the graph that represents the relationship between centimeters and inches.
2. Identify two points on the line. These points should have integer values for both centimeters and inches to make calculations easier.
3. Use the formula for slope (change in y / change in x) to find the slope of the line. In this case, the change in y represents the change in centimeters and the change in x represents the change in inches.
4. Divide the change in y (centimeters) by the change in x (inches) to find the slope, which represents the number of centimeters in 1 inch.
Once you have calculated the slope of the line, you will have the answer to the question.
In order to determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch, we need to find the slope of the graph.
The slope of a graph represents the ratio of the vertical change (y-axis) to the horizontal change (x-axis). In this graph, the vertical change represents the number of centimeters and the horizontal change represents the number of inches.
Let's say that for every inch, there are x centimeters. The slope can be calculated by dividing the vertical change (centimeters) by the horizontal change (inches):
Slope = vertical change / horizontal change
Looking at the graph, we can see that for every 2 inches, there is an increase of 5 centimeters. Therefore, the slope can be calculated as:
Slope = 5 centimeters / 2 inches
Reducing this fraction, we get:
Slope = 2.5 centimeters / 1 inch
So, there are 2.5 centimeters in 1 inch.
To determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch using a graph, you need to find the slope on the graph. The slope represents the unit rate, which is the number of centimeters per inch.
Here's how you can find the slope and calculate the number of centimeters in 1 inch:
1. Look at the graph provided or create a graph with the relevant data points. The graph should have centimeters on the y-axis and inches on the x-axis.
2. Identify two points on the graph that lie on a straight line. These points should have the same units on the x-axis and y-axis.
3. Measure the vertical change (change in centimeters) and the horizontal change (change in inches) between the two points.
4. Calculate the slope by dividing the vertical change by the horizontal change. This will give you the rate of change in centimeters per inch.
Once you have the slope, you can use it to determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch. The slope represents the centimeters per inch, so the answer will be the same as the slope value.
For example, if the slope is 2 centimeters per inch, then there are 2 centimeters in 1 inch.
