My math homework says "estimate the unit rate if 12 pairs of socks sell for $5.79 " and i need anybody

The unit rate in this situation would be the price of each pair of socks.

Since they want us to just estimate, we can round up the price for the socks to $6

Now, let’s divide 6 and 12

6 ÷ 12 = 0.50

Therefore, each pair is about $0.50

Hope this helps

Ok, you want to figure out the cost of one sock, since a unit rate is a rate of 1. To find the unit rate, you would do: 12/5.79, which gets you the answer of about $2.07 per one sock

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
