$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\begin{array}{ccll}
x&f(x)\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
-2&0\\2&15\\7&30
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=2\\
x_2=7
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(7)-f(2)}{7-2}\implies \cfrac{30-15}{5}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15}{5}\implies 3$

Tarik rides a stationary bike and Janet rides her bike on a trail. Their data is shown

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Part a. The graph does not model a proportional relationship.

Part b. The values in table model a proportional relation.

3.5 minutes per mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a.

The graph shown in the question representing Janet's data is not a straight line although it passes through the origin.

That is why the rate of change of distance with time is not constant.

Therefore, the graph does not model a proportional relationship.

Part b.

If we plot the data in the table using distance in miles along the y-axis and time in minutes along the x-axis, then we will get a straight line passing through the origin.

So, the values in the table model a proportional relation.

Now, Tarik's unit rate in minutes per miles will be $\frac{7-0}{2-0} =3.5$ minutes per mile. (Answer)
