It is the gradient of the line. Pick any two points on the line. Measure the RISE = difference in their heights (distances from the x-axis), and the RUN = difference in their horizontal displacements (distances from the y-axis). The unit rate is RISE/RUN.

How do you know when a graph is proportional?

It makes a line ,it goes through the origin, it has a constant


How can you find the unit rate on a graph that goes through the origin?

It is the gradient of the straight line joining the origin to any point on the graph. Thus, if A = (p,q) is any point on the graph, the average unit rate between the origin and A is q/p (provided p is non-zero).


Does a derivative exist if the graph goes through the origin?

It may or may not exist. Whether or not the graph goes through the origin does not in any way affect whether or not it has a derivative. A function has a derivative if it has no discontinuities, cusps, sharp corners, or vertical tangents.


How can you find the unit rate on a gragh that goes through the origin?

Divide the ordinate (y-coord) of any point on the graph by its abscissa (x-coord).

How do you graph the linear equation x equals y?

the slope is 1, and goes through the origin. It's a straight, diagonal line.


How does one find out if an equation's graph goes through the origin?

-- Take the equation -- Set either 'x' or 'y' equal to zero -- Solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable -- If the remaining variable is then also zero, then the origin is on the graph of the function If the graph is a straight line ('x' and 'y' appear in the equation only to the 1st power), then the equation has to be in the form of a simple ratio ... like (y = Kx) or (x = Ky) or (xy = K) or (x/y = K) ... in order to go through the origin.
