Determining Equivalent Rates by Graphing

The video tutorial teaches how to determine if two rates are equivalent by graphing. It begins with an example of Jen's walking rates on different days and explains how to compare them using graphs. The tutorial covers the basics of ratios, graphing points on a coordinate grid, and plotting Jen's walking rate using time and distance. It also demonstrates graphing with different units to show equivalent rates, emphasizing that graphs of equivalent rates form a straight line through the origin.
