Mike pays $20 per hour for algebra tutoring. The equation y = 20x relates the cost of tutoring (y) to the number of hours (x) he is tutored. Identify the unit rate in the equation.

A. X

B. Y

C. 20

D. 20x

The unit rate in the equation is 20.

Option C) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

In the given equation y = 20x

where,

x ⇒ total number of hours for tutoring

20 ⇒  the cost per hour of tutoring

y ⇒ the total cost for total hours of tutoring

Step 2 :

Unit rate refers to the value per hour.

Here, the cost for 1 hour of tutoring is $20.

∴ The unit rate is $20 per hour of tutoring.

step-by-step explanation:

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!
