The Unit Rate is the start of the slope/the y-intercept of the slope.To find that we need to make the slope first.
(shown in the first picture)
We can see that the slope is a linear function/a straight line, and if we just follow the line down the slope we can see that it has a y-intercept/unit rate of 2/3 of 1 whole.

Answer:
part 1) 0.78 seconds
part 2) 1.74 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
At about what time did the ball reach the maximum?
Let
h ----> the height of a ball in feet
t ---> the time in seconds
we have

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
The vertex represent a maximum
so
The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the time when the ball reach the maximum
Find the vertex
Convert the equation in vertex form
Factor -16

Complete the square


Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point 
therefore
The time when the ball reach the maximum is 25/32 sec or 0.78 sec
step 2
At about what time did the ball reach the minimum?
we know that
The ball reach the minimum when the the ball reach the ground (h=0)
For h=0



square root both sides


the positive value is

Domain: {-5, 7}
Range: {-9, 4, 8}
C ≈ 307.88
Hope that helps.
