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).
To find a unit rate on a graph that goes through the origin, identify the coordinates of a point on the line (other than the origin). The unit rate is determined by calculating the slope of the line, which is the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value (rise over run). Since the line passes through the origin, the slope directly represents the unit rate of change between the two quantities. For example, if the point is (4, 8), the unit rate would be 8/4 = 2, indicating that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.
you can compare two measurements using ratios to find the unit rate.

To find the unit rate, divide the price by the number of items. $5.60 / 7 = $0.80. The unit rate is 80 cents.
