Eric made a graph of the distance (y), in miles, he can ride a bicycle in x hours. Eric can ride 6.5 miles in 0.5 hour. Which point on the graph represents Eric’s rate of travel, in miles per hour?
A) (0, 6.5)
B) (0, 13)
C) (1, 6.5)
D) (1, 13)

Since we have no other sources, i will have to assume the graph is something along:

f(x) = 13x

If that is the case, D is the correct answer of your question.

The point on the graph that represents Eric's rate of travel (unit rate) in miles per hour is: D) (1, 13).

Recall:

  • Unit rate of a graph is given as, k = y/x.

Given that:

  • y = distance
  • x = hours

If Eric rides 6.5 miles in 0.5 hours (0.5, 6.5), therefore:

k = 6.5/0.5

k = 13

Thus, in the rate of travel in miles per hour = the unit rate (k).

Therefore, the point on the graph that represents Eric's rate of travel (unit rate) in miles per hour is: D) (1, 13).
