Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Inches and ranges from 0 to 5 in one unit increments. The y-axis is labeled centimeters and ranges from 0 to 12 in 1 unit increments. The graph is titled Centimeters per Inch. A line connects five points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the labeled and plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 2.54 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 5.08 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 7.62 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 4 comma 10.16 right parenthesis.

Use the graph to determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch.

1 answer

To determine the number of centimeters in 1 inch from the graph you described, you can look at the point corresponding to \( x = 1 \).

According to the coordinates you provided:

  • The point \( (1, 2.54) \) indicates that when \( x = 1 \) inch, \( y = 2.54 \) centimeters.

Therefore, there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
