Question

1. A graph of the function y = 80x + 2 models Carli’s Road trip, with her speed measured in miles per hour. The graph includes the two hours of stops she’ll make. Using this information, define which quantity describes the x-axis.

A) miles traveled
B) time in hours
C) speed traveled
D) direction traveled

2. The graph models the descent of a hot air balloon in feet per minute. What does the y-intercept tell you in this situation?
A) The balloon takes 0 minutes to descend 600 feet.
B) The balloon rises 600 feet.
C) It will take the balloon 600 minutes to descend.
D) The balloon starts its descent at 600 feet.

3. A rental truck company charges $25 to rent a truck, then $1.25 for every mile it is driven. The situation can be expressed as C = 1.25m + 25 is the total cost to rent the truck and m is the miles driven. If you plot points on the linear function, which of the following would appear?
A) (30,4) and (35,8)
B) (2,2.5) and (4,5)
C) (4,30) and (8,35)
D) (2,22.5) and (4,20)

4. A hot air balloon climbs into the air at a steady rate per minute. The graph illustrates the hot air balloon’s ascent. Interpret the slope of the graph.
A) For every four minutes that pass, the balloon rises 400 feet.
B) For every 2 minutes, the balloon rises 400 feet.
C) The balloon will be at 200 feet when it is launched.
D) For every four minutes that pass, the balloon rises 200 feet.

5. Barton took out a car loan of $2,625. He makes monthly payments of $175. The graph represents the remaining balance after each payment. Which example models the correct slope?
A) m = 1,050 − 1,225/9 − 8
B) m = 2,450 − 2,625/0 − 1
C) m = 525 − 700/11 − 12
D) m = 9 − 8/1,050 − 1,225

Here are the answers to your questions based on the information provided:

The quantity that describes the x-axis in the graph of the function y = 80x + 2, which models Carli’s road trip along with her stops:
B) time in hours
The x-axis typically represents the time since the function models distance over time.
What the y-intercept tells you in the situation where the graph models the descent of a hot air balloon in feet per minute:
D) The balloon starts its descent at 600 feet.
The y-intercept indicates the initial height of the balloon before it starts descending.
Points that would appear when plotting the cost function C = 1.25m + 25, where C is total cost to rent the truck and m is miles driven:
D) (2,22.5) and (4,20)
For m = 2, C = 1.25(2) + 25 = 27.5 and for m = 4, C = 1.25(4) + 25 = 30. Therefore, the choices must properly represent the equation's outputs. The points make sense considering the cost.
Interpreting the slope of the graph illustrating the hot air balloon's ascent:
D) For every four minutes that pass, the balloon rises 200 feet.
If the slope indicates feet per minute, the understanding is that the change in height is directly associated with time, specifically noting a relationship between time and feet.
The example that models the correct slope for Barton's car loan payments:
B) m = 2,450 − 2,625/0 − 1
This slope represents the monthly payment decrease in relation to the number of months. This presents a valid calculation of slope in the context of a linear equation.
