If point A has cordnites of (2, 1778) and point B has cordnites of (3, 2667)

The slope, or rate of change, of the graph is 889/1 or 889

The unit for the rate of change is the number of

B days each television sets producted

C sets produced per hour

D hours each television set is produced

To determine the appropriate unit for the rate of change, we first need to analyze the coordinates of points A and B.

The coordinates of point A are (2, 1778) and for point B, they are (3, 2667). This translates to:

  • At the x-value of 2, 1778 sets were produced.
  • At the x-value of 3, 2667 sets were produced.

Here, the x-value likely represents time in days (i.e., 2 days and 3 days), while the y-values represent the number of sets produced.

To find the slope (rate of change), we compute it as follows:

\[ \text{slope} = \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}} = \frac{2667 - 1778}{3 - 2} = \frac{889}{1} = 889 \]

Now we interpret what this slope represents. It indicates that as we move from 2 days to 3 days (a change of 1 day), the production increased by 889 sets in that time frame.

Therefore, the unit for the rate of change (889 sets per 1 day) is:

A: sets produced per day.

So the correct answer is A.
