A bicyclist rides 1/5 in 1/60 hour . Write this rate as a unit rate.

answer: 4  

the square root of 16 is 4. it is a very simple mathematic concept. a square root when a number multiplied by itself will result in a number. here, the number 16 comes when 4 is multiplied by 4. hence the square root of 16 is 4. you can always figure out a square root by the inverse operation of squaring.  

i believe b is the answer

let

step

find the slope of the line ab

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

substitute the values

step

find the equation of the line ab with the slope m and point a

we know that

the equation of the line in the slope-point form is equal to

substitute the values

convert to function form

let

therefore

the answer is the option
