Question

a proportional relationship has a constant rate. that means the distance increases by the same amount for each minute of rowing. describe coles rate. how far does he row per minute? cole rows meters per minute.

Explanation:

Step1: Find two points on the line

Let's take the points \((1, 200)\) and \((2, 400)\) from the graph.

Step2: Calculate the rate (slope)

The formula for slope \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\).
Substituting \(x_1 = 1,y_1=200,x_2 = 2,y_2 = 400\) into the formula:
\(m=\frac{400 - 200}{2 - 1}=\frac{200}{1}=200\)

Answer:

200
