5.1 Relating Graphs and Events
5.1 – Relating Graphs & Events Goals / “I can…” Interpret, sketch, and analyze graphs from situations
In your math notebook solve the compound inequalities: • 3 < x + 2 < 10 • 10 > -2x + 4 > 19 • -5 ≥ ½ x + 3 > 11
Relating Graphs to Events Use the graph at the right. Name the point with the given coordinates. 1. (4, –2) 2. (4, 3) 3. (2, –4) 4. (–2, 1) Name the coordinates of each given point. 5.B6.F7.G
Relating Graphs and Events • Now that you have worked with both equations and inequalities, you will begin to learn more about functions and their characteristics. One of those characteristics is their graphs. This lesson is an introduction relating graphs to events that will later lead to understanding functions.
Relating Graphs and Events • A big part of math is understanding the world around us.

Relating Graphs to Events This graph shows someone taking a walk in the neighborhood. Describe what it shows by labeling each part.
Relating Graphs to Events A pelican flies above the water searching for fish. Sketch a graph of its altitude from takeoff from shore to diving to the water to catch a fish. Label each section.
Understanding the graph: • In your math notebook write what you think this graph tells you. Deaths Percent of people using shaving cream
Relating Graphs to Events Graph I indicates a quantity that does not change with time. Graph II shows an increase over time. Which graph in Example 3 could show a car sitting at a stoplight? A car sitting at a stoplight would stay in the same place over time. Graph I could show a car sitting at a stoplight.
Relating Graphs and Events • A shoe store is having a sale. The first pair of shoes sells for $40. The second pair sells for half price, or $20. The next pair sells for half of that, and so on. Make a table showing the cost of 1 to 4 pairs of shoes.

Relating Graphs and Events • A shoe store is having a sale. The first pair of shoes sells for $40. The second pair sells for half price, or $20. The next pair sells for half of that, and so on. Make a table showing the cost of 1 to 4 pairs of shoes. The cost depends on the number of pairs. The dependent variable (x) is the cost. The independent variable (y) is the number of pairs. The cost is a function of the number of pairs Sketch a graph that represents this situation. Label each axis and indicate the units.
Draw out the graph. Note: The points are not connected since shoes can only be purchased in discrete units (1 pair, 2 pairs, etc.). You can not purchase 1.5 pairs of shoes.
Represent the information with a graph: • A balloon is being inflated with air. As more air is pumped into the balloon, the volume increases until it finally bursts.
Represent the information with a graph: • A balloon is being inflated with air. As more air is pumped into the balloon, the volume increases until it finally bursts. • Determine the dependent and independent variables • Sketch a graph that represents this situation. • Label each axis. • Determine if the function is discrete or continuous.
Relating Graphs to Events Use the graph for questions 1–3. 1. Why does this graph not start at zero? 2. Why is the graph not a straight slanted line? 3. What does the flat part at the top of the graph represent? A person’s height is not zero when born. A straight line represents a constant rate of growth and people do not grow that way. The person has stayed the same height over a long period of time. 4. Would a horizontal line, a straight slanted line, a curve, or a jagged curve best represent the calories you burn during the day? a jagged curve
