Use the two graphs to help complete the statements below.
Graph A:
Unit rate = change in lawns mowed = _____ lawns per day
change in time
Graph B:
Slope = change in y = _____
change in x
How can the graphs be used to calculate and interpret unit rates and slopes?

To find the unit rate from Graph A and the slope from Graph B, you can use the data provided in the respective graphs.
1. Graph A: Unit Rate Calculation
– The unit rate is calculated by taking the change in the quantity (lawns mowed) and dividing it by the change in time (days).
– If you see the total lawns mowed over a period from the graph, the formula would be:
[
text{Unit Rate} = frac{text{Change in Lawns Mowed}}{text{Change in Time}}
]
2. Graph B: Slope Calculation
– The slope also uses a similar formula, which represents the change in the vertical axis (y) over the change in the horizontal axis (x):
[
text{Slope} = frac{text{Change in y}}{text{Change in x}}
]
– You can identify the points on the graph to find the coordinates and then apply the formula.
Make sure to refer to the actual graphs to fill in the numeric values for the unit rate and slope accurately. If you need more detailed help or practice, consider checking the extended services page for further assistance!
