Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

5. Find the slope of the line through A and B. Then interpret this number in the context of the
data. Do not use math words such as "rise", "run", or "change in x". Do use the actual number
(1984. 161)
(1986,14.7)
in your response.
a. Slope AB M=-7
b. What does it mean? Use a complete sentence.
as
the years increase
the birth' vate continues
to
go up.
6. Now write the equation of the line through A and B. Since slope, m =
change in y
change in y =
change in x
m(change in x), or y – y1 = m(x – x1)
Have you simplified your equation so you can use it to predict y from x
7. According to your equation, what would predict the Infant Mortality rate to be in:
а. 1995
b. 2001
C.
2010
8. What is the y-intercept of your equation_
Interpret this value in the context of the
data.
9. Is there an x-intercept of your equation?
If not why not? If so interpret this value in
the context of the data.

According to the South Carolina Vital and Mortality Statistics Bureau, the following data was reported
for the infant mortality rate per 1000 live births for South Carolina for selected years shown.

1.
Examine the data and describe the trend in words.
2. Construct a scatterplot of the data. Since we are examining how Infant Mortality changes with
respect to time or as a function of time, we use time as our independent variable, or "x-value"
and plot it on the horizontal axis; and Infant Mortality as our dependent variable. To streamline
our calculations later, use 1980 as time x = 0, 1984 as time x = 4 ect... Be sure to label your axis
with units.
3. Describe you graph in words. How does it compare to your description in #1?
