The amount of a medicine, in milliliters, that a veterinarian prescribes is proportional to the weight, in kilograms, of a dog as shown on the graph. 8,14 what is the unit rate in milliliters per kilogram? enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. I add the missing graph in this answer.

We can see that the graph of the function that relates the amount of medicine in milliliters and the weight in kilograms is a line.

In order to find the unit rate in milliliters per kilogram we can divide the two coordinates from any of the points in the graph (except the coordinates of the point ).

We know by looking the graph that the point belongs to the graph.

The point is actually

So if we divide the coordinate ''y'' by the coordinate ''x'' we will obtain the unit rate in milliliters per kilogram :

We can obtain the unit rate like this because the graph is a straight line.

We conclude that the unit rate in milliliters per kilogram is 1.75

In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two straight lines in a plane that do not intersect at any point are said to be parallel. Colloquially, curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance are said to be parallel.

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that are always the same distance apart. Parallel lines never intersect. Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right (90 degrees) angle.
