Answer:
A unit rate is the rate of change in a relationship where the rate is per 1.
The rate of change is the ratio between the x and y (or input and output) values in a relationship. Another term for the rate of change for proportional relationships is the constant of proportionality.
If the rate of change is yx, then so is the constant of proportionality. To simplify things, we set yx=k, where k represents the constant of proportionality.
If you solve a yx=k equation for y, (like this: y=kx), it is called a direct variation equation. In a direct variation equation, y varies directly with x. When x increases or decreases, y also increases or decreases by the same proportion.
To find y in a direct variation equation, multiply x by the constant of proportionality, k.
For example: Given the relationship y=7x, the constant of proportionality k=7, so if x=3, then y=3×7 or 21.
Given the same relationship, if x=7, then y=7×7, or 49.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance traveled should be on y axis
hours should be on x axis
increments should be 5

Answer: 80 meters</h3>
This is an isosceles triangle. The dashed line is the height which is perpendicular to the base 120. The height is always perpendicular to the base. The dashed line cuts the base into two equal pieces (this only works for isosceles triangles when you cut at the vertex like this).
So we have two smaller triangles each with a base of 60 and a height of x. Focus on one of the right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (60)^2 = (100)^2
x^2 + 3600 = 10000
x^2 = 10000 - 3600
x^2 = 6400
x = sqrt(6400)
x = 80
Each smaller right triangle has side lengths of 60, 80, 100
Note the ratio 60:80:100 reduces to 3:4:5. A 3-4-5 right triangle is a very common pythagorean primitive.
