use the graph to determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch.
there are _ centimeters in 1 inch.
To find the number of centimeters in 1 inch using the given graph, we need to calculate the slope between any two points on the graph. The slope represents the rate of change, or the number of centimeters per inch.
Using the coordinates (0,0) and (1,2.54) on the graph:
Slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
= (2.54 - 0) / (1 - 0)
= 2.54 / 1
= 2.54 cm/inch
Therefore, there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
To find the number of centimeters in 1 inch, we need to calculate the slope or the rate of change. The slope in this case represents the change in centimeters for each inch.
To calculate the slope, we can choose any two points from the given coordinates and use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's use the points (0,0) and (1,2.54) to calculate the slope:
slope = (2.54 - 0) / (1 - 0)
slope = 2.54 / 1
slope = 2.54
So, the slope or rate of change is 2.54.
The slope represents the number of centimeters in 1 inch. Therefore, there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
To determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch using the given graph, we need to find the slope between two points on the graph. The slope represents the rate of change, or in this case, the number of centimeters per inch.
Let's take two points, (0,0) and (1,2.54), from the given data. The x-coordinate represents the number of inches, and the y-coordinate represents the number of centimeters.
To find the slope between these two points, we use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
In this case, the change in y-coordinates is 2.54 - 0 = 2.54 centimeters. The change in x-coordinates is 1 - 0 = 1 inch.
So, the slope is:
slope = 2.54 centimeters / 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters per inch
Therefore, according to the graph, there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
