  1. Topic 1 – part 2 Ratios and Proportional Relationships

  2. Lesson 7.1.7Constant Rate of Change • A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another. • A constant rate of change is the rate of change of a linear relationship.

  3. Example 1 Find the constant rate of change for the table. Students# of Textbooks 515 1030 1545 2060 The changein the number of textbooks is 15. The change in the number of students is 5. The number of textbooks increased by 15 for every 5 students. Write as a unit rate. So, the number of textbooks increases by 3 textbooks per student.

  4. Example 2 The graph represents the number of T-shirtssold at a band concert. Use the graph to findthe constant rate of change in number per hour. To find the rate of change, pick any two points on the line,such as (8, 25) and (10, 35). or 5 T-shirts per hour

  5. Lesson 8.3.2Slope • The slope m of a line passing through points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is the ratio of the difference in the y-coordinates to the corresponding difference in the x-coordinates. • As an equation, the slope is given by , where x1 ≠ y1

  6. Example 1 Find the slope of the line that passes through A(-1,-1) and B(2,3) Slope formula m = (x1, y1) = (–1, –1), (x2, y2) = (2, 3) Simplify. Check When going from left to right, the graph of the line slants upward. This is correct for a positive slope.

  7. Example 2 Find the slope of the line that passesthrough C(1, 4) and D(3, –2). Slope formula m = (x1, y1) = (–1, 4), (x2, y2) = (3, –2) Simplify. Check When going from left to right, the graph of the line slants downward. This is correct for a negative slope.

  8. Lesson 7.1.9Direct Variation • When two variable quantities have a constant ratio, their relationship is called a direct variation. • The constant ratio is called the constant of proportionality.

  9. Example 1 The time it takes Lucia to pick pints of blackberriesis shown in the graph. Determine the constant ofproportionality. Since the graph forms a line, the rate of change is constant. Use the graph to find the constant of proportionality. or or It takes 15 minutes for Lucia to pick 1 pint of blackberries.

  10. Example 2 There are 12 trading cards in a package. Make a table and graph to show the number of cards in 1, 2, 3, and 4 packages. Is there a constant rate? a direct variation? Because there is a constant increase of 12 cards, there is a constant rate of change. The equation relating the variables is y = 12x, where y is the number of cards and x is the number of packages. This is a direct variation. The constant of proportionality is 12.

  11. Lesson 8.3.3Equations in y = mx form • When the ratio of two variable quantities is constant, their relationship is called a direct variation. • y = mx (m=the slope, the constant of proportionality)

  12. Example 1 The distance that a bicycle travels varies directly with the number of rotations that its tires make. Determine the distance that the bicycle travels for each rotation. Since the graph of the data forms a line, the rate of change is constant. Use the graph to find the constant ratio. or or or The bicycle travels 80 inches for each rotation of the tires.

  13. Example 2 The number of trading cards varies directly as the number of packages. If there are 84 cards in 7 packages, how many cards are in 12 packages? Let x = the number of packages and y = the total number of cards. y = mx Direct variation equation 84 = m(7) y = 84, x = 7 12 = m Simplify. y = 12x Substitute for m = 12. Use the equation to find y when x = 12. y = 12x y = 12(12) x = 12 y = 144 Multiply. There are 144 cards in 12 packages.

  14. Lesson 8.3.4Slope-Intercept Form • Linear equations are often written in the form y = mx + b. This is called the slope-intercept form. • When an equation is written in this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

  15. Example 1 State the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of y = x – 3. y = x – 3 Write the original equation. y = 1x + (–3) Write the equation in the form y = mx + b. ↑ ↑ y = mx + b m = 1, b = –3 The slope of the graph is 1, and the y-intercept is –3.

  16. You can use the slope intercept form of an equation to graph the equation. Example 2 Graph y = 2x + 1 using the slope and y-intercept. Step 1 Find the slope and y-intercept. y = 2x + 1slope = 2, y-intercept = 1 Step 2 Graph the y-intercept 1. Step 3Write the slope 2 as . Use it to locate a second point on the line. ← change in y : up 2 units ← change in x : right 1 units m = Step 4 Draw a line through the two points.
