1 Find the rate of change represented in each table or graph. To find the rate of change, use the coordinates (3, 6) and (0, 2). So, the rate of change is. To find the rate of change, use the coordinates (3, 6) and (5, 2). So, the rate of change is 4. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 1

2 CCSS SENSE-MAKING Refer to the graph below. a. Find the rate of change of prices from 2006 to Explain the meaning of the rate of change. b. Without calculating, find a twoyear period that had a greater rate of change than Explain. c. Between which years would you guess the new stadium was built? Explain your reasoning. a. To find the rate of change, use the coordinates (2008, 28.73) and (2006, 26.66). So, the rate of change is 1.035, which means there was an average increase in ticket price of $1.035 per year. b. Sample answer: The twoyear period that had a greater rate of change than was There was a steeper segment, which means a greater rate of change. c. Sample answer: I would guess that the new stadium was built between 1998 and 2000, because the ticket prices show a sharp increase. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 2

24 MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIONS In this problem, you will investigate why the slope of a line through any two points on that line is constant. a. VISUAL Sketch a line that contains points A, B, A, and B on a coordinate plane. b. GEOMETRIC ABC and ABCwith right angles C and C. Describe and and and How are triangles ABC and ABCrelated? What does that imply for the slope between any two distinct points on line? a.. Place four points on the line and label them from left to right A, B, A, and B. Draw a line straight down from B and straight across from A to form a right angle and label the vertex of the angle C. Repeat the same process from B and Ato form a right angle at a point C. and and cabcabcare similar because line is a transversal of parallel segments, so ABC ABC since corresponding angles of parallel lines are congruent. C C because all right angles are congruent. Therefore, by AA Similarity, ABC ABC. The ratios formed by corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal. The slope of a line is defined as. So, the slope of line through points A and B, is equal to, the slope of line through points A and B. BASKETBALL The table shown below shows the average points per game (PPG) Michael Redd has scored in each of his first 9 seasons with the NBAs Milwaukee Bucks.

Discuss the difference in the rate of change from season 1 through season 4, from season 4 through season 7, from season 7 through season 9. a. Graph the season on the x-axis and the points per game on the y-axis. Then, plot the ordered pairs from the table and connect the points with straight lines. b.

So, the value of d so the line that passes through (a, b) and (c, d) has a slope of. WRITING IN MATH Explain how the rate of change and slope are related and how to find the slope of a line. Studentsanswers may vary. Sample answer: The slope and rate of change are ratios. Rate of change is a ratio that describes how much one quantity changes with respect to a change in another quantity. The slope of a line is the ratio of the change in the ycoordinates to the change in the xcoordinates. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 29

31 Danita bought a computer for $1200 and its value depreciated linearly. After 2 years, the value was $250. What was the amount of yearly depreciation? F $950 G $475 H $250 J $225 Since the deprecation is linear, the computer value dropped the same amount every year. Over 2 years it dropped from $1200 to $250, or $950. To find the amount for one year, divide $950 by 2, which is $475. So, the correct choice is G. SHORT RESPONSE The graph represents how much the Wright Brothers National Monument charges visitors. How much does the park charge each visitor? The graph shows a constant rate of change, so the cost per visitor is constant. Look at the cost for one visitor. Find 1 visitor on the x-axis. Move your finger up to the corresponding point, then left to the y-axis. There, you see a 4. So, the cost for 1 visitor is $4. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 31

32 PROBABILITY At a gymnastics camp, 1 gymnast is chosen at random from each team. The Flipstars Gymnastics Team consists of 5 elevenyearolds, 7 twelveyearolds, 10 thirteenyearolds, and 8 fourteenyearolds. What is the probability that the age of the gymnast chosen is an odd number? A B C D The probability of choosing a girl with an age that is an odd number is. So the correct choice is C. Solve each equation by graphing. 3x + 18 = 0 The related function is y = 3x The graph intersects the x-axis at 6. So, the solution is = 0 esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 32

33 8x 32 = 0 The related function is y = 8x 32. The graph intersects the x-axis at 4. So, the solution is 4. 0 = 12x 48 The related function is y = 12x 48. The graph intersects the x-axis at 4. So, the solution is 4. Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of each linear function. The x-coordinate of the point at which the graph of an equation crosses the x-axis is the x-intercept. The y- coordinate of the point at which the graph of an equation crosses the y-axis is the y-intercept. The graph crosses the x-axis at (2, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 2). So the x-intercept is 2 and the y-intercept is 2. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 33

34 The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. The y-value at that point is 0. So, the x-intercept is 1. The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. The x-value at that point is 0. So, the y-intercept is 2. HOMECOMING Dance tickets are $9 for one person and $15 for two people. If a group of seven students wishes to go to the dance, write and solve an equation that would represent the least expensive price p of their tickets. Let p be the price, x be the number of couplestickets and y be the number of single tickets. If seven students are going, then they can form three couples with one student left over. So, the least expensive price p of their tickets is $54. Find each quotient. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 34
