The way we can find out the unit rate (also known as the <em><u>SLOPE</u></em>) is by using the table as coordinates!
The slope formula is
With the table, the TIME column can be "x"
The DISTANCE column can be "y"
____________________________
As coordinates, it would look like...
(0,0)
(20, 25)
(30, 37.5) and so on!
_____________________________
All we need to do now is use 2 of these coordinates and plug them into the slope formula in their correct places to find the unit rate!
Example:
solve!
= 12.5/10 ⇒ 1.25 ( or 5/4 in fraction form)
