Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.44 Interpreting Slope as Unit Rate in Proportional Contexts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Hard
A student looks at the table (2, 14), (5, 35), (9, 63), where x is calls made and y is minutes used, and says, 'The slope is 7, so that means 7 calls per minute.' Which response is best?
AThe student is correct because 14 divided by 2 is 7.
BThe student is incorrect; the slope means 7 minutes per call because y is minutes and x is calls.
CThe student is incorrect; the slope means 1/7 minute per call.
DThe student is incorrect because proportional relationships do not have slopes.
Solution & Explanation:The slope is y/x = 14/2 = 7. Since y is minutes and x is calls, the unit rate is 7 minutes per call, not 7 calls per minute.
Problem 2Difficulty: Hard
A graph of a proportional relationship passes through (3, 12) and (9, 36), where x is dollars spent and y is pounds of rice bought. What does the slope represent?
A$4 per pound
B4 pounds per dollar
C3 pounds per dollar
D12 pounds per dollar
Solution & Explanation:Slope = (36 - 12) / (9 - 3) = 24/6 = 4. Because y is pounds and x is dollars, the slope means 4 pounds per dollar.
Problem 3Difficulty: Hard
A graph of a proportional relationship passes through (1.5, 6) and (4, 16), where x is hours and y is dollars earned. Which statement about the slope as a unit rate is true?
AThe slope is 4 dollars per hour because (16 - 6) / (4 - 1.5) = 10/2.5.
BThe slope is 2.5 dollars per hour because 4 - 1.5 = 2.5.
CThe slope is 10 dollars per hour because 16 - 6 = 10.
DThe slope is 6 dollars per hour because 6/1.5 = 4.
Solution & Explanation:Compute the slope using change in y over change in x: 10/2.5 = 4. The unit rate is $4 per hour.
