Slope and y-Intercept
Find the slope and y-intercept of a line that passes through these points.
Question 5.
(2, 2) and (3, 0)
Answer:
The given points are:
(2, 2), and (3, 0)
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2,y2)
We know that,
Slope(m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
m = \(\frac{0 – 2}{3 – 2}\)
= \(\frac{-2}{1}\)
= -2
We know that,
The linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Where,
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
We know that,
We can obtain the y-intercept by putting the value of x equal to 0
So,
y = -2x + c
Substitute (3, 0) or (2, 2) in the above equation
So,
0 = -6 + c
So,
c = 6
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The slope of a line that passes through the given points is: -2
The y-intercept of a line is: 6
Question 6.
(1, 5) and (4, 10)
Answer:
The given points are:
(1, 5), and (4, 10)
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2,y2)
We know that,
Slope(m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
m = \(\frac{10 – 5}{4 – 1}\)
= \(\frac{5}{3}\)
We know that,
The linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Where,
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
We know that,
We can obtain the y-intercept by putting the value of x equal to 0
So,
y = \(\frac{5}{3}\)x + c
Substitute (4, 10) or (1, 5) in the above equation
So,
5 = \(\frac{5}{3}\) + c
So,
c = \(\frac{10}{3}\)
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The slope of a line that passes through the given points is: \(\frac{5}{3}\)
The y-intercept of a line is: \(\frac{10}{3}\)
Question 7.
(8, 2) and (-8,6)
Answer:
The given points are:
(8, 2), and (-8, 6)
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2,y2)
We know that,
Slope(m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
m = \(\frac{6 – 2}{-8 – 8}\)
= \(\frac{4}{-16}\)
= –\(\frac{1}{4}\)
We know that,
The linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Where,
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
We know that,
We can obtain the y-intercept by putting the value of x equal to 0
So,
y = –\(\frac{1}{4}\)x + c
Substitute (-8, 6) or (8, 2) in the above equation
So,
2 = –\(\frac{1}{4}\) (8) + c
So,
c = 4
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The slope of a line that passes through the given points is: –\(\frac{1}{4}\)
The y-intercept of a line is: 4

Jenna’s mother is shopping for energy drinks in 12-ounce bottles for Jenna’s soccer team. Store A sells a case of 18 bottles for $10. Store B sells a case of 12 bottles for $6. Which store sells the drinks for less? Use the graph to compare the unit costs of the drinks.
Question 8.
Answer:
Jenna’s mother is shopping for energy drinks in 12-ounce bottles for Jenna’s soccer team. Store A sells a case of 18 bottles for $10. Store B sells a case of 12 bottles for $6
Now,
The unit cost rate of a bottle in store A = \(\frac{The cost of 18 bottles}{18}\)
= \(\frac{$10}{18}\)
= $0.55
The unit cost rate of a bottle in store B = \(\frac{The cost of 12 bottles}{12}\)
= \(\frac{$6}{12}\)
= $0.5
So,
The representation of the unit cost rate of a bottle in both stores is:
So,
From the above graph,
We can observe that
The unit cost rate of a bottle in store B < The unit cost rate of a bottle in store A
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that store B sells the drinks for less cost
Linear Equations
Question 9.
Write the equation for the graph of the line shown.
Answer:
The given graph is:
We know that,
The y-intercept is the value of the point that passes through the y-axis
So,
From the graph,
The point that passes through the y-axis is: (0, -6)
So,
The y-intercept is: -6
Now,
To find the slope,
The points are: (2, 2), and (0, -6)
Now,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2,y2)
We know that,
Slope(m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
m = \(\frac{-6 – 2}{0 – 2}\)
= \(\frac{-8}{-2}\)
= 4
We know that,
The linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = 4x – 6
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the equation of the line for the given graph is:
y = 4x – 6

As the pump is pumping water, the amount of water in the pool decreases at a constant rate. Complete the statements below. Then graph the function.
The amount of water remaining in the pool is 
gallons.
The amount of water pumped each hour is gallons.
The equation is
Answer:
It is given that
As the pump is pumping water, the amount of water in the pool decreases at a constant rate
Now,
Let the initial amount of water present in the pool is: 9,000 gallons
So,
The rate of the amount of water that pumped each hour = \(\frac{The initial amount of water present in the pool}{The time that is present where the initial amount of water present}\)
= \(\frac{9,000}{12}\)
= 750 gallons per hour
So,
The amount of water remaining in the pool = The initial amount of water present in the pool – The amount of water that pumped each hour
= 9,000 – 1,500
= 7,500 gallons
Let the number of hours be x
We know that,
The linear equation is in the form of
y = mx + c
So,
The total amount of water present in the pool = The rate at which the water pumps out + The amount of water that pumped each hour
9,000 = 750x + 7,500
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The amount of water remaining in the pool is 7,500 gallons.
The amount of water pumped each hour is 1,500 gallons.
The equation is:
9,000 = 750x + 7,500

Answer:
It is given that
Two streaming video subscription services offer family plans with different monthly costs, as shown in the ads
Now,
Let the number of devices be x
Let the total subscription cost be y
So,
For Movies 4 U,
The total subscription cost = The subscription cost of the first device + The subscription fee for additional devices
y = $10 + $2x
For Family Stream,
The total subscription cost = The subscription cost of the first device + The subscription fee for additional devices
y = \(\frac{$12}{4}\) + $1x
y = $3 + $1x
Now,
The above equations are in the form of slope-intercept form
We know that,
The slope-intercept form of the equation is:
y = mx + c
Now,
The common points in the two plans are:
A) The subscription cost of the first device plan

Try It!
The welding rate of a third robot is represented by the equation t = 10.8w, where t represents the time in minutes and w represents the number of welding tasks. How does it compare to the other two?
Answer:
It is given that
The welding rate of a third robot is represented by the equation t = 10.8w, where t represents the time in minutes and w represents the number of welding tasks (Refer to Example 1)
Now,
For a third robot,
The wielding rate = \(\frac{The number of wielding tasks (w)}{Time in minutes (t)}\)
= 10.8 (From the equation t = 10.8w)
Now,
When we compare the wielding rates of the three robots,
The wielding rate of the first robot (10.4) < The wielding rate of the third robot (10.8) < The wielding rate of the second robot (11.2)
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the comparison of the wielding rates of the three robots is:
The first robot’s wielding rate < The third robot’s wielding rate < The second robot’s wielding rate

How can linear equations help you compare linear functions?
Answer:
While all linear equations produce straight lines when graphed, not all linear equations produce linear functions. In order to be a linear function, a graph must be both linear (a straight line) and a function (matching each x-value to only one y-value).
Try It!
Compare the properties of these two linear functions.
Answer:
The given functions are:
Now,
For function 1,
Find out the rate of change and the y-intercept i.e., the initial value
We know that,
Rate of change = \(\frac{y}{x}\)
Now,
For y = 1 and x = 2.
Rate of change = 0.5
For y = 5.5 and x = 5,
Rate of change = 1.1
SO,
From the above values,
We can say that the rate of change is not constant
So,
The given function is a non-linear function and it does not have any initial value i.e., the y-intercept is 0
Now,
For function 2,
Compare the given equation with
y = mx + c
Where,
m is the slope or the rate of change
c is the initial value or the y-intercept
So,
From the given equation,
Rate of change (m): 2
The y-intercept is: -4
Hence, from the above 2 functions,
We can conclude that
The y-intercept of function1 > The y-intercept of function 2

Question 2.
Reasoning Anne is running on a trail at an average speed of 6 miles per hour beginning at mile marker 4. John is running on the same trail at a constant speed, shown in the table. How can you determine who is running faster?
Answer:
It is given that
Anne is running on a trail at an average speed of 6 miles per hour beginning at mile marker 4. John is running on the same trail at a constant speed, shown in the table.
So,
For Anne,
The rate of change is defined as the average speed
The y-intercept is defined as the beginning point
Hence,
For Anne,
The rate of change is: 6 miles per hour
The y-intercept is: 4
Now,
The given table is:
From the given table,
For John,
Rate of change = \(\frac{y}{x}\) = \(\frac{Mile marker}{Time (hours)}\)
Now,
The total distance traveled by John (y) = Final value – Initial value
= 11.5 – 1
= 10.5 miles
The total time took by John (x) = 1.5 hours
So,
Rate of change = \(\frac{y}{x}\)
= \(\frac{10.5}{1.5}\)
= 7 miles per hour
Now,
We know that,
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0
So,
The y-intercept is: 1
Hence, from the above,
By comparing the values of the rate of change,
We can conclude that John is running faster
Question 3.
Reasoning In Item 2, how do Anne and John’s starting positions compare? Explain.
Answer:
We know that,
The starting positions are nothing but the initial positions of both Anne and John i.e., the y-intercepts of both Anne and John
So,
The y-intercept of Anne is: 4
The y-intercept of John is: 1
Hence, from the above,
By comparing the y-intercepts,
We can conclude that
The starting position of Anne > The starting position of John

= \(\frac{4}{2}\)
= 2
For Function B,
The rate of change = \(\frac{y}{x}\)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\)
= 1.5

Question 8.
Tell whether each function is linear or nonlinear.
Answer:
The given functions are:
We know that,
To find whether the given function is linear or non-linear, we have to verify whether the rate of change is constant or not
If the rate of change is constant, then the function is linear
If the rate of change is not constant, then the function is non-linear
Now,
For Function A,
The rate of change = \(\frac{y}{x}\)
For x = 1 and y = 2,
The rate of change = 2
For x = 2 and y = 5,
The rate of change = 2.5
Hence,
Function A is a non-linear function
Now,
For Function B,
The rate of change = \(\frac{y}{x}\)
For x = 1 and y = 4,
The rate of change = 4
For x = 1.5 and y = 3,
The rate of change = 2
Hence,
Function B is a non-linear function
Question 9.
Tell whether each function is linear or nonlinear.
Answer:
The given functions are:
We know that,
For a relation to be a graph, each input has a different output but the same input will not have different outputs
Now,
From Function A,
We can observe that there are different inputs for different outputs i.e., the values of x and y are different
So,
The rate of change is not constant since the graph is non-linear
Hence,
Function A is a non-linear function
Now,
From Function B,
Compare the given equation with
y = mx + c
Where,
m = 1
c = 0
So,
The rate of change is constant for Function B
Hence,
Function B is a linear function

We can obtain the number of weeks by adding 1 i.e., 0 + 1, 1 + 1, etc
So,
The rate of change is constant i.e., 1
For money in account,
We can obtain the money by adding 2 to the initial amount of money i.e., 4 + 2, 6 + 2, etc
So,
The rate of change is constant i.e., 2
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that since the rate of change is constant, the given situation represents a linear function

Answer:
It is given that
The students in the After-School Club ate 12 grapes per minute. After 9 minutes, there were 32 grapes remaining. The table shows the number of carrots remaining after different amounts of time.
Now,
The rate of change of grapes consumption is: 12 grapes per minute
Now,
The given table is:
Now,
The rate of change of carrots consumption = \(\frac{The difference between any 2 values of carrots remaining}{The values of the tie elapsed corresponding to the carrots remaining}\)
= \(\frac{118 – 136}{8 – 6}\)
= –\(\frac{18}{2}\)
= -9 carrots per minute
So,
The consumption rate of grapes > The consumption rate of carrots
Hence, from the baove,

Answer:
It is given that
Erick wants to buy a new mountain bike that costs $250. He has already saved $120 and plans to save $20 each week from the money he earns for mowing lawns. He thinks he will have saved enough money after seven weeks.
So,
The total amount he saved = The amount he saved already + The amount he planned to save each week
Let,
The number of weeks —-> x
The total amount he saved —-> y
So,
y = $20x + $120
Compare the above equation with y = mx + c
Where,
m s the rate of change (or) slope
c is the y-intercept
So,
For the given equation,
The rate of change (m) is: 20
The y-intercept is: 120
A. Complete the table. Then graph the data.
Answer:
The equation is:
y = $20x + $120
So,

B. How can you tell that the relationship is a linear function from the table? How can you tell from the graph?
Answer:
We know that,
A relation is said to be a function when an input value matches only with an output value
A function is said to be a linear function when the graph of that function is a straight line
So,
From part (a),
From the table,
We can observe that for each value of the week, there is a different amount saved
So,
From the table,
The given relation is said to be a function
From the graph of the equation,
We can observe that the graph is a straight line
So,
We can say that the function is a linear function

? Essential Question
How can you use a function to represent a linear relationship?
Answer:
Another approach to representing linear functions is by using function notation. One example of function notation is an equation written in the form known as the slope-intercept form of a line, where x is the input value, m is the rate of change, and c is the initial value of the dependent variable.

How will the height of the ramp change if the plan shows that for every 3 inches of height, the triangle should have a base that is 15 inches long?
Graph the function. The slope of the function shown in the graph is 
. The equation of the function is y =
x. If the base length is 110 inches, then the height of the ramp will be inches.
Answer:
It is given that
The plan shows that for every 3 inches of height, the triangle should have a base that is 15 inches long
So,
The rate of change (m) = \(\frac{Rise}{Run}\)
m = \(\frac{3}{15}\)
m = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
So,
The slope of the function shown in the graph is: \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Now,
We know that,
The representation of the linear equation is:
y = mx
So,
y = \(\frac{1}{5}\)x
Where,
y is the height of the ramp
x is the base length of the triangle
Now,
For the base length of 110 inches,
y = \(\frac{1}{5}\) (110)
y = 22 inches
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the height of the ramp will be 22 inches for the base length of 110 inches
Convince Me!
Explain why the initial value and the y-intercept are equivalent.
Answer:
An equation in slope-intercept form of a line includes the slope and the initial value of the function. The initial value, or y-intercept, is the output value when the input of a linear function is zero. It is the y-value of the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Jin is tracking how much food he feeds his dogs each week. After 2 weeks, he has used 8\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups of dog food. After 5 weeks, he has used 21\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups. Construct a function in the form y = mx + b to represent the amount of dog food used, y, after x weeks.
Answer:
It is given that
Jin is tracking how much food he feeds his dogs each week. After 2 weeks, he has used 8\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups of dog food. After 5 weeks, he has used 21\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups.
Now,
Let x be the number of weeks
Let y be the number of cups of dog food used
So,
For x = 2, y = 8.5 (The value of 8\(\frac{1}{2}\))
For x = 5, y = 21.25 (The value of 21\(\frac{1}{4}\))
We know that,
The equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
8.5 = 2m + c —–> (1)
21.25 = 5m + c ——> (2)
Solve eq (1) and eq (2)
So,
8.5 = 2m + 21.25 – 5m
8.5 – 21.25 = 2m – 5m
-12.75 = -3m
3m = 12.75
m = \(\frac{12.75}{3}\)
m = 4.25
Now,
For the value of c,
Substitute the value of m either in eq (1) or in eq (2)
So,
8.5 = 2m + c
8.5 = 2 (4.25) + c
8.5 – 8.5 = c
c = 0
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the representation of the amount of dog used y, after x weeks in the equation form is:
y = 4.25x

m = \(\frac{-2}{-20}\)
m = \(\frac{1}{10}\)
We know that,
The representation of the equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = \(\frac{1}{10}\)x + 1
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the equation that represents the given situation is:
y = \(\frac{1}{10}\)x + 1

Answer:
It is given that
Tonya is looking at a graph that shows a line drawn between two points with a slope of -5. One of the points is smudged and she cannot read it. The points as far as she can tell are (3, 5) and (x, 10)
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
–5 = \(\frac{10 – 5}{x – 3}\)
-5 = \(\frac{5}{x – 3}\)
-5 (x – 3) = 5
-5 (x) + 5 (3) = 5
-5x + 15 = 5
-5x = 5 – 15
-5x = -10
5x = 10
x = \(\frac{10}{5}\)
x = 2
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the value of x is: 2

Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{9.5 + 5.2}{6.4 + 8.3}\)
m = \(\frac{14.7}{14.7}\)
m = 1
We know that,
The representation of the equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = x + c
Now,
To find the value of c,
Substitute any one of the points in the above equation
So,
-5.2 = -8.3 + c
c = 8.3 – 5.2
c = 3.1
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the representation of the linear equation for the given points is:
y = x + 3.1

Answer:
The given points are:
(4, 19) and (9, 24)
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{24 – 19}{9 – 4}\)
m = \(\frac{5}{5}\)
m = 1
We know that,
The representation of the equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = x + c
Now,
To find the value of c,
Substitute any one of the points in the above equation
So,
19 = 4 + c
c = 19 – 4
c = 15
Hence, from the above,

Answer:
It is given that
A line passing through (4.5, -4.25) with y-intercept 2.5
We know that,
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0
Now,
The given points are:
(4.5, -4.25) and (0, 2.5)
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{2.5 + 4.25}{0 – 4.5}\)
m = \(\frac{6.75}{-4.5}\)
m = -1.5
We know that,
The representation of the equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = -1.5x + 2.5
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the representation of the linear equation for the given points is:
y = -1.5x + 2.5

Answer:
It is given that
A car moving at a constant speed passes a timing device at t = 0. After 8 seconds, the car has traveled 840 feet
We know that,
Speed = \(\frac{Distance}{Time}\)
So,
For a constant speed,
Time is considered as input and distance is considered as the output
It is also given that time will start from (0, 0) i..e, at t = 0
So,
The representation of the equation that passes through the origin is:
y = mx
Where,
m is the rate of change (or) slope
In this situation,
The rate of change = \(\frac{Distance}{Time}\)
So,
y = \(\frac{840}{8}\)x
y = 105x
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the linear equation that represents the distance traveled by a car after passing the timing device is:
y = 105x

Answer:
It is given that
At time t = 0, water begins to drip out of a pipe into an empty bucket
Now,
In this situation,
Time is considered as output and the amount of water in the bucket is considered as the input
It is also given that time will start from (0, 0) i..e, at t = 0
So,
The representation of the equation that passes through the origin is:
y = mx
Where,
m is the rate of change (or) slope
In this situation,
The rate of change = \(\frac{Time}{The amount of water}\)
So,
y = \(\frac{56}{8}\)x
y = 7x
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the linear equation that represents the amount of water in inches, w, in the bucket after t minutes
y = 7x

So,
From the graph,
The y-intercept is: 8
Now,
To find the slope,
The points from the graph are: (2, 12), and (4, 16)
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{16 – 12}{4 – 2}\)
m = \(\frac{4}{2}\)
m = 2
We know that,
The representation of the equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = 2x + 8
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the relationship to represent the total cost, c, of renting a kayak for t hours is:
y = 2x + 8
Question 12.
An online clothing company sells custom sweatshirts. The company charges $6.50 for each sweatshirt and a flat fee of $3.99 for shipping.
a. Write a linear function in the form y = mx + b that represents the total cost, y, in dollars, for a single order of x sweatshirts.
Answer:
It is given that
An online clothing company sells custom sweatshirts. The company charges $6.50 for each sweatshirt and a flat fee of $3.99 for shipping.
So,
The total cost of the sweatshirts = The cost of each sweatshirt + The flat fee of the sweatshirt for shipping
Let the number of sweatshirts be x
let the total cost of the sweatshirts be y
So,
y = $3.99 + $6.50x
Now,
We know that,
The linear equation representation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the equation that represents the total cost, y, in dollars, for a single order of x sweatshirts is:
y = $3.99 + 6.50x
b. Describe how the linear function would change if the shipping charge applied to each sweatshirt.
Answer:
From part (a),
We know that,
The equation that represents the total cost, y, in dollars, for a single order of x sweatshirts, is:
y = $3.99 + $6.50x
Where,
$3.99 is the shipping charge for x sweatshirts,
Now,
If the shipping charge applied to each sweatshirt, then
The representation of the linear equation which we obtained in part (a) is:
y = $6.50x + \(\frac{$3.99}{x}\)
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the linear function that represents if the shipping charge applied to each sweatshirt is:
y = $6.50x + \(\frac{$3.99}{x}\)

b. Construct Arguments Suppose another store sells a similar package, modeled by a linear function with initial value $7.99. Which store has the better deal? Explain.
Answer:
a)
It is given that a store seller sells packages of comic books with a poster
Now,
Let x be the number of comics
Let y be the amount obtained by selling comics & poster
So,
For x = 6, y = $12.75
For x = 13, y = $19.75
We know that,
The representation of the linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Where,
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
Now,
To find the slope,
The points are: (6, 12.75), and (13, 19.75)
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{19.75 – 12.75}{13 – 6}\)
m = \(\frac{7}{7}\)
m = 1
So,
y = x + c
Now,
To find the value of c,
Substitute any one of the points in the above equation
So,
12.75 = 6 + c
c = 12.75 – 6
c = 6.75
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the representation of the linear equation that represents the cost, y, of a package containing any number of comic books, x is:
y = x + 6.75
b)
It is given that another store sells a similar package, modeled by a linear function with an initial value of $7.99
Now,
From part (a),

Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that another store has the better deal
Question 14.
Higher-Order Thinking Recommendations for safely thawing a frozen turkey are provided on the packaging.
a. What is the thaw rate of the turkey in hours per pound for refrigerator thawing? For cold water thawing?
b. Write a linear function in the form y = mx + b to represent the time, t, in hours it takes to thaw a turkey in the refrigerator as a function of the weight, w, in pounds of the turkey.
Answer:
a)
We know that,
The thaw rate is nothing but the rate of change
So,
For refrigerator thawing,
Rate of change = \(\frac{The number of pounds}{Time}\)
= 4 pounds per day
We know that
1 day = 24 hours
So,
Rate of change = \(\frac{4}{24}\)
= \(\frac{1}{6}\) pound per hour
For Cold water thawing,
Rate of change = \(\frac{The number of pounds}{Time}\)
= 1 pound per 30 minutes
We know that
1 hour = 60minutes
So,
Rate of change = \(\frac{1 (2)}{1}\)
= 2 pounds per hour
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The rate of change for refrigerator thawing is: \(\frac{1}{6}\) pounds per hour
The rate of change for cold water thawing is: 2 pounds per hour
b)
We know that,
The representation of the linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
For refrigerator thawing,
The representation of the linear equation as a function of weight w in pounds is:
y = \(\frac{1}{6}\)x + c
For the value of c,
Substitute (24, 4) in the above equation [ The time as x in hours and the weight as y]
So,
4 = \(\frac{24}{6}\) + c
4 = 4 + c
c = 0
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the representation of the linear equation as a function of weight w in pounds is:
y = \(\frac{1}{6}\)x

So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{300 – 450}{10 – 20}\)
m = \(\frac{150}{10}\)
m = 15
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the constant rate of change for the given graph is: 15
b. What is the initial value? What might that represent?

C. y = x + 3
D. y = 3x + 3
Answer:
It is given that
An international food festival charges for admission and for each sample of food. Admission and 3 samples cost $5.75. Admission and 6 samples cost $8.75
Now,
Let x be the number of samples
Let y be the cost of samples &Admission
So,
For x = 3, y = $5.75
For x = 6, y = $8.75
We know that,
The representation of the linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Where,
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
Now,
To find the slope,
The points are: (3, 5.75), and (6, 8.75)
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{8.75 – 5.75}{6 – 3}\)
m = \(\frac{3}{3}\)
m = 1
So,
y = x + c
Now,
To find the value of c,
Substitute any one of the points in the above equation
So,
5.75 = 3 + c
c = 5.75 – 3
c = 2.75
So,
y = x + 2.75
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that option A matches the given situation

A linear function that represents the total number of muffins the students will make, y, and the number of additional hours spent making the muffins, x is:
y = 40x + 200
It is given that the number of muffins students made is: 640
So,
y = 640
So,
640 = 40x + 200
40x = 640 – 200
40x = 440
4x = 44
x = \(\frac{44}{4}\)
x = 11 hours
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the additional hours the students would spend to make 640 muffins is: 11 hours

Answer:
It is given that
Martin will ride his bike from his house to his aunt’s house. He has two different routes he can take. One route goes up and down a hill. The other route avoids the hill by going around the edge of the hill.
We know that,
Speed = \(\frac{Distance}{Time}\)
In this situation,
The distance is constant for the 2 routes
So,
As speed increases, the time decreases
Now,
For route 1:
Route 1 is divided into 2 parts
For the first part (Going up),
As there is friction,
The speed decreases as time increases
For the second part (Going down),
The speed increases as time decreases
For route 2:
Route 2 is divided into 2 parts
For the first part (Going down),
The speed increases as time decreases
For the second part,
The speed is constant as time increases
Focus on math practices
Reasoning How do the characteristics of each route affect Martin’s travel time and speed?
Answer:
We know that,
For the constant distance,
Speed ∝ \(\frac{1}{Time}\)
Now,
Route 1 is in the shape of a parabola
In route 1,
For the first part,
The speed increases as time decreases
For the second part,
The speed decreases as time increases
Now,
Route 2 is increasing for some time and later becomes constant
In route 2,
For the first part,
The speed increases as time decreases
For the second part,
The speed is constant as time increases

Answer:
It is given that
The weight of the water exerts pressure on a diver. At a depth of 10 feet, the water pressure is 19.1 pounds per square inch (psi) and at a depth of 14 feet, the water pressure is 20.9 psi.
So,
From the above statements,
We can observe that
As the depth of the water increases, the water pressure also increases
So,
The input or x-variable for the given situation is: Depth
The output or y-variable for the given situation is: Water pressure
Now,
To draw the graph,
The required points are: (10, 19.1), and (14, 20.9)
We know that,
the equation of the straight line in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{20.9 – 19.1}{14 – 10}\)
m = \(\frac{1.8}{4}\)
m = \(\frac{9}{20}\)
So,
y = \(\frac{9}{20}\)x + c
Now,
To find the value of c,
Substitute any one of the points in the above equation
So,
19.1 = \(\frac{9}{20}\) (10) + c
c = 19.1 – 4.5
c = 14.6
So,
y = \(\frac{9}{20}\)x + 14.6

Answer:
To draw the graph,
The required points are: (0, 3), and (3, 7)
We know that,
the equation of the straight line in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{7 – 3}{3 – 0}\)
m = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
So,
y = \(\frac{4}{3}\)x + c
Now,
To find the value of c,
Substitute any one of the points in the above equation
So,
3 = \(\frac{4}{3}\) (0) + c
c = 3 – 0
c = 3
So,
y = \(\frac{4}{3}\)x + 3
Hence,
The representation of the above equation in the coordinate plane is:

LESSON 3.3 Compare Linear and Nonlinear Functions
Quick Review
You can compare functions in different representations by looking at the properties of functions: the constant rate of change and the initial value.
Practice
Two linear functions are shown.
Answer:
The given linear functions are:
Function A:
Compare the given equation with
y = mx + c
Where,
m is the rate of change (or) slope
c is the initial value (or) y-intercept
So,
From the above equation,
The rate of change is: -3
The initial value is: 2
Function B:
From the given table,
We can observe that
The rate of change for all the values of x is: 1
The rate of change for all the values of y is: 2
So,
The rate of change for the table = \(\frac{y}{x}\)
= \(\frac{2}{1}\)
= 2
We know that,
The initial value is the value of y when x = 0
So,
For the given table,
The initial value is: 0
The rate of change is: 2
Question 1.

Practice
Question 1.
What is the equation of a line that passes through (0.5, 4.25) and (2, 18.5) and has a y-intercept of -0.5?
Answer:
It is given that
A line passing through (0.5, 4.25), and (2, 18.5) and has a y-intercept of -0.5
We know that,
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0
Now,
The given points are:
(0.5, 4.25) and (2, 18.5)
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{18.5 – 4.25}{2 – 0.5}\)
m = \(\frac{14.25}{1.5}\)
m = 9.5
We know that,
The representation of the equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = 9.5x – 0.5
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the representation of the linear equation for the given points is:
y = 9.5x – 0.5
Question 2.
The graph shows the relationship of the number of gallons being drained from an aquarium over time. What function models the relationship?
Answer:
It is given that
The graph shows the relationship of the number of gallons being drained from an aquarium over time.
Now,
The given graph is:
From the given graph,
We can observe that there is an initial value or y-intercept
So,
The y-intercept from the given graph is: 90
Now,
To find the slope from the given graph,
The given points are: (0, 90), and (9, 0)
So,
Slope (m) = \(\frac{0 – 90}{9 – 0}\)
m = \(\frac{-90}{9}\)
m = -10
We know that,
The representation of the equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = -10x + 90
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the equation that represents the given relationship is:
y = -10x + 90
LESSON 3-5 Intervals of Increase and Decrease
Quick Review
You can describe the relationship between two quantities by looking at the behavior of the line at different intervals on a qualitative graph. The function is increasing if both x- and y-values increase. The function is decreasing if the y-values decrease as the x-values increase.
Practice
The graph shows the altitude of an airplane over time.
Answer:
We know that,
The graph is said to be increasing in nature when the line moves from left to right or the slope is positive
The graph is said to be decreasing in nature when the line moves from right to left or the slope is negative
The graph is said to be constant in nature when the line is parallel to any one of the coordinate axes
Question 1.
