To find the unit rate when give a table do what steps

A Draw a line through the points and extend it to the axis.

B Stare at the graph until it tells you what the table is.

C Graph the given points in the table.

D Stare at the table until the image of the graph pops into your mind.

E The unit rate is the slope of the line.

To find the unit rate when given a table, the most appropriate steps would be:

  1. C. Graph the given points in the table. - This step helps you visualize the data and understand the relationship between the values.

  2. A. Draw a line through the points and extend it to the axis. - If the relationship is linear, this helps you see the line that best represents the data.

  3. E. The unit rate is the slope of the line. - Once you have graphed the points and drawn a line, the unit rate (the rate per single unit of the independent variable) can be determined as the slope of the line.

So the sequence would ideally be:

C → A → E

Options B and D are ineffective as they do not involve analytical or calculative methods to find the unit rate.
