X, x+1, x+2, x+3, ... - consecutive integers

75 as the sum of two consecutive integers:
x+x+1=75 \\
2x+1=75 \\ 2x=75-1 \\
2x=74 \\
x=\frac{74}{2} \\
x=37 \\ \\ \boxed{75=37+38}

75 as the sum of three consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2=75 \\
3x+3=75 \\
3x=75-3 \\
3x=72 \\
x=\frac{72}{3} \\
x=24 \\ \\ \boxed{75=24+25+26}

75 as the sum of six consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5=75 \\
6x+15=75 \\
6x=75-15 \\
6x=60 \\
x=\frac{60}{6} \\
x=10 \\ \\
\boxed{75=10+11+12+13+14+15}

75 as the sum of ten consecutive integers:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+...+x+7+x+8+x+9= 75 \\
10x+45=75 \\
10x=75-45 \\
10x=30 \\
x=\frac{30}{10} \\
x=3 \\ \\
\boxed{75=3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12}

The four sequences begin with: 3, 10, 24, 37.

Which unit rate corresponds to the proportional relationship shown in the graph?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.5 cm/s​

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate is the same as the slope.

To find the slope, we use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using our points, we have

m = (9-0)/(6-0) = 9/6 = 3/2 = 1.5 cm/s
