Question 12345 of 5

Question 1 of 5

The table shows values of and for a linear relationship.

If this relationship continues, which equation represents the relationship between and ?

Explanation

From the table, when increases by , increases by , so the slope is . That means the equation has the form . Using the point , substitute to get , so . Therefore, the equation is .

Concept summary

For a linear relationship in a table, find the slope from the change in over the change in , then use one point to find the constant term.

Question 2 of 5

If , which statement must be true?

Explanation

Add to both sides of to get . Therefore, the statement that must be true is .

Concept summary

To solve a linear equation, use the inverse operation to isolate the variable while keeping both sides balanced.

Question 4 of 5

A bicycle rental shop charges a flat fee plus an hourly rate. The graph of the total cost is a line that crosses the cost axis at and passes through the point , where is the number of hours and is the total cost in dollars. What is the hourly rate, in dollars per hour?

Explanation

The line crosses the cost axis at , so the cost is when . It also passes through , so in hours, the cost increases from to . That increase is dollars over hours, so the hourly rate is dollars per hour.

Concept summary

On a graph of a linear situation, the hourly rate is the slope: change in cost divided by change in hours.

Question 5 of 5

A line passes through the points and . Which equation represents this line?

Explanation

The slope of the line is . Since the line passes through , its -intercept is . So the equation is .

Concept summary

To write an equation of a line from two points, find the slope using change in over change in , then use the point with to identify the -intercept when possible.
