Answer:
The unit rate of $10 per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]x = time[/tex]
[tex]y = amount[/tex]
[tex](x,y) = (1,10)[/tex]
See attachment for graph
Required
What does the given point represents
From the attachment, the origin of the graph is:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,0)[/tex]
and we have the given point to be:
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (1,10)[/tex]
Calculate the slope (m)
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{10-0}{1-0}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{10}{1}[/tex]
[tex]m = 10[/tex]
The slope represents $10/1 hour
Hence:
[tex](x,y) = (1,10)[/tex] means the unit rate is $10 per hour
