The graph displays the cost per ounce of canned peas.use the graph to determine the unit rate of the proportional relationship

1 answer

To determine the unit rate of the proportional relationship shown in the graph, we need to look at the slope of the line.

The unit rate represents the cost per ounce of canned peas. By looking at the graph, we can see that the cost of 6 ounces of canned peas is $1.50, and the cost of 12 ounces is $3. If we calculate the slope of the line passing through these two points, we can determine the unit rate.

Slope = (Change in y) / (Change in x)
Slope = ($3.00 - $1.50) / (12 oz - 6 oz)
Slope = $1.50 / 6 oz
Slope = $0.25 per ounce

Therefore, the unit rate of the proportional relationship shown in the graph is $0.25 per ounce of canned peas.
