What is the unit rate?

Back

The unit rate is the ratio of two measurements in which the second measurement is 1. It represents how much of one quantity corresponds to one unit of another quantity.

How can you determine if a graph is proportional or non-proportional?

Back

You can determine if a graph is proportional by checking if it is a straight line through the origin. If it does not pass through the origin or is not a straight line, it is non-proportional.

What is the significance of the origin in proportional relationships?

Back

The origin (0,0) is significant in proportional relationships because it indicates that when one quantity is zero, the other quantity is also zero.

How do you find the unit rate from a table?

Back

To find the unit rate from a table, divide the value of one quantity by the corresponding value of the other quantity, focusing on the row where the second quantity is 1.

What does it mean if all graphs in a set are proportional?

Back

If all graphs in a set are proportional, it means that each graph represents a constant ratio between the two quantities being compared.
