Jose has been keeping a record of the distance he bikes and the time it takes. He travels at the same unit rate each time and plots the distances for particular times. Which point on the graph did Jose plot incorrectly if he is representing a proportional relationship?
A
B
C
D
To identify the point that Jose plotted incorrectly, we need to understand that in a proportional relationship, the ratio of distance to time remains constant. This means if Jose travels a certain distance in a certain time at a constant speed, any point plotted must reflect that ratio.
If we assume the points A, B, C, and D represent different distance-time combinations, we need to check which point does not fit the pattern of the others.
1. Determine the unit rate (speed) represented by the correct points.
2. Compare the ratio of distance to time for each point to see if it matches the others.
Without specific numerical values for points A, B, C, and D, I can’t definitively tell you which one is incorrect. However, just look for the point where the distance divided by time gives a different result than the other points, and that’s likely the incorrect one.
If you can share more details about the specific distances and times for each point, I can help you identify the incorrect point.
