Ok so first you would create a proportion.
8/x=4/1. Next you cross multiply and divide,
1 • 8÷4=x. Ratios are fractions with the first number being the numerator and the second being the denominator. If you think of it this way, you just find an equivalent fraction. Your answer would be 8:2 because in your proportion x=2.
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)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 2/7x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We start off by putting the original equation into slope-intercept form. Subtract 7x from both sides, then divide both sides by -2. Your new equation should be y = -7/2x - 8. It's important to know that when two lines are perpendicular, their slopes (m) are opposite reciprocals of each other. So -7/2 becomes 2/7. The first part of your final equation is y = 2/7x + b.
Next, we need to find the y intercept (b). You need to plug the x and y values from the given coordinate point (-7,5) into your final equation. You should end up with: 5 = 2/7(-7) + b. Then, solve for b.
5 = -14/7 + b
5 = -2 + b
7 = b
Finally, plug the b value into your final equation and you will have your answer.
