To find the relationship between the number of steps and the height off the ground in inches, we can calculate the difference in height between consecutive steps.
For example, between 3 steps and 5 steps, the height increased by 36 - 20 = 16 inches. Similarly, between 5 steps and 7 steps, the height increased by 52 - 36 = 16 inches.
This shows that for each additional 2 steps, the height increases by 16 inches. Therefore, the relationship is 16 inches per 2 steps, or 8 inches per step.
The correct answer is:
A) 8 inches per step.
A construction worker built steps up to a home. The table shows the linear relationship between the height off the ground in inches and the number of steps.
Number of Steps | Height (inches)
3. 20
