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

Question 8.
Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answer Key Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 1
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

Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answer Key Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 3.2
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

The amount of water pumped each hour is Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answer Key Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 5.11 gallons.
The equation is Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answer Key Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 5.11
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

Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answer Key Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 8.1
Answer:
The given functions are:
Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answer Key Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 8.1
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,

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:
Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answer Key Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 9.1
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

The height, h, in millimeters, of Candle B, can be modeled by the function h = 290 – 5t, where t is the time in hours
Now,
The rate of change of Candle A = \(\frac{201 – 177}{4}\)
= \(\frac{24}{4}\)
= 6 millimeters per hour
Now,
For Candle B,
The time to burn the Candle B = \(\frac{290}{5}\)
= 58 hours
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that B, C, and E match with the given situation

Envision Math Common Core 8th Grade Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 10.1
We know that,
For a linear function,
The rate of change is constant
So,
For Function A,
The rate of change = \(\frac{y}{x}\)
= \(\frac{3}{6}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)
= 0.5
For Function B,
The given equation is:
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x – 1
y = 0.5x – 1
Compare the above equation with
y = mx + c
Where,
m is the rate of change
So,
The rate of change is: 0.5
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the two linear functions have the same rate of change

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

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?
Envision Math Common Core 8th Grade Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 11.8
Graph the function. The slope of the function shown in the graph is Envision Math Common Core 8th Grade Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 11.9. The equation of the function is y = Envision Math Common Core 8th Grade Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 11.9
x. If the base length is 110 inches, then the height of the ramp will be Envision Math Common Core 8th Grade Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 11.9 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

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.

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

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

Question 3.
Reasoning What is the initial value of all linear functions that show a proportional relationship?
Answer:

Answer:
The given points are:
(-8.3, -5.2) and (6.4, 9.5)
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,
We can conclude that the representation of the linear equation for the given points is:
y = x + 15

Question 8.
What is a linear function in the form y = mx + b for the line passing through (4.5, -4.25) with y-intercept 2.5?
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

Question 9.
A car moving at a constant speed passes a timing device at t = 0. After 8 seconds, the car has traveled 840 feet. What linear function in the form y = mx + b represents the distance in feet, d, the car has traveled any number of seconds, t, after passing the timing device?
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

Question 10.

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

Envision Math Common Core 8th Grade Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 16.1
From the given graph,
We can observe that the line does not pass through the origin and it has the initial value i..e, the y-intercept
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,

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.
Envision Math Common Core 8th Grade Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 16.3
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),
The initial value is: $6.75
From the above initial values,
We can observe that
$6.75 < $7.99
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.
Envision Math Common Core 8th Grade Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 16.4
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

From the given graph,
To find the rate of change,
The points are: (20, 450), and (10, 300)
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
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?
Answer:
We know that,
The initial value is nothing but the y-intercept
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the initial value is 50 and this value represents the initial cost of the mulch

Question 16.
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. Which linear function represents the cost, y, for any number of samples, x?
A. y = x + 2.75
B. y = 3x + 2.75
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

Answer:
It is given that
Some eighth-graders are making muffins for a fundraiser. They have already made 200 muffins and figure they can make 40 muffins in an hour.
Now,
Let x be the number of hours
So,
The total number of muffins students will make = The number of muffins that the students had already made + The number of muffins the students will make in x hours if they made 40 muffins in an hour
y = 40x + 200
We know that,
The representation of the linear equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
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

PART B
How many additional hours would the students spend to make 640 muffins?
Answer:
From part (a),
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

The other route avoids the hill by going around the edge of the hill. How do you think the routes will differ? What do you think about the relationship between speed and time?
Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 20.1
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

KEY CONCEPT
You can describe the relationship between two quantities by analyzing the behavior of the function relating the quantities in different intervals on a graph.
Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 20.4

Do You Understand?

Question 1.
Essential Question How does a qualitative graph describe the relationship between quantities?
Answer:
The formal term to describe a straight-line graph is linear, whether or not it goes through the origin, and the relationship between the two variables is called a linear relationship. Similarly, the relationship shown by a curved graph is called non-linear.

Question 2.
Look for Relationships How would knowing the slope of a linear function help determine whether a function is increasing or decreasing?
Answer:
The graph of an increasing function has a positive slope. A line with a positive slope slants upward from left to right. For a decreasing function, the slope is negative. The output values decrease as the input values increase.

Question 3.
Use Structure What kind of graph of a function shows the same output values, or y-values, for each input value, or x-value?
Answer:
The vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function. A vertical line includes all points with a particular x value. The y value of a point where a vertical line intersects a graph represents an output for that input x value.

The output, or y-variable, is Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 40.7
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
Hence,
The representation of the above equation in the coordinate plane is:

Envision Math Common Core Grade 8 Answers Topic 3 Use Functions To Model Relationships 70.2
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:

Use Vocabulary in Writing

Explain how to write a linear function in the form y = mx + b by using the two points given below. Use vocabulary words in your explanation. (0, -2), (2, 6)
Answer:
The given points are:
(0, -2) and (2, 6)
Now,
We know that,
Slope (m) = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
So,
Compare the given points with (x1, y1), (x2, y2)
So,
m = \(\frac{6 + 2}{2 – 0}\)
m = \(\frac{8}{2}\)
m = 4
We know that,
The representation of the equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + c
So,
y = 4x + c
Now,
To find the value of c,
Substitute any one of the points in the above equation
So,
-2 = 0 + c
c = -2 – 0
c = -2
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the representation of the linear equation for the given points is:
y = 4x – 2

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:
