How can you solve a problem using a linear relationship if you are not given an initial value?
In this lesson you will learn how to solve a problem involving a linear relationshipby making a table and graph.
Linear relationships are commonly expressed in three ways: tables, graphs, and equations. y = mx + b +3 +2 +2 +3 +3 +2
You are going to a carnival with your friend. You know that there is a fee to get into the carnival, and then you also pay to go on rides. Your friend paid $5.50 and rode 2 rides. Each ride costs $0.75. How much will it cost to pay the entry fee and ride 8 rides? Constant rate of change
+0.75 +0.75 Rate of change = slope = $0.75 +0.75
How to solve this problem? • Use the table • Find an equation to model this function • Put the points from the table on a graph, and use the graph
+0.75 +0.75 +0.75
How to solve this problem? • Use the table • Find an equation to model this function • Put the points from the table on a graph, and use the graph
Work backwards $4.00 -0.75 $4.75 -0.75 c = $0.75r + $4.00 c = $0.75(8) + $4.00 = $10.00
How to solve this problem? • Use the table • Find an equation to model this function • Put the points from the table on a graph, and use the graph
+0.75 +0.75 Rate of change = slope = $0.75 = ¾ +0.75
(8, $10.00) (5, $7.75) Cost (in dollars) (4, $7.00) (3, $6.25) (2, $5.50) Number of rides
In this lesson you have learned how to solve a problem involving a linear relationshipby making a table and graphing.
A 2-mile cab ride costs $5.25. A 5-mile cab ride costs $10.50. How much does a 4.2-mile cab ride cost, if the cost of the cab is calculated by the mile?
