What point on the graph represents the unit rate?
Solution
To find the point on the graph representing the unit rate, we need to identify the earnings for 1 hour of work. The unit rate in this context is the amount Salma earns per hour.
Steps:
- Look at the graph and find the point where (1 hour).
- Determine the corresponding -value (earnings) for that .
Observations:
From the graph:
- At , .
Answer:
The point on the graph that represents the unit rate is .
This means Salma earns $25 per hour.
