What is the term for the point where the graph crosses the x-axis?

Horizontal intercepts or intercepts 

100

Given the equation y=3x+2, identify the slope and y-intercept.

Slope: 3, y-intercept: 2.

100

Find function of f(x) when we have f(12)=15 and f(5)=7  

We have two points (12,15) and (5,7)

m=15-7/12-5

m=8/7

f(x)=8/7x+b

7=8/7(5)+b

7=40/7+b

7-40/7=b

49/7-40/7=b

b=9/7

System of equations 

y=x

y=-x

(0,0)

200

On a graph, what is the term for the dependent variable?

Outputs, y values

200

How would you find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line given by the equation 5x−2y=10?

set x=0

set y=0

The owners of an apartment building bought it new and then 9 years later sold it for $149000. They calculated that the building appreciated $5000 per year while they owned it.

How would you solve this?

do 149000-5000

finding value of the house year 8 

144000-5000

finding value of the house year 7 

plug points into desmos 

use y1~mx1+b

200

(0,-4) the solution to the system y=-20x+1 and 20x+y=6

no 

there is no intersection

300

If a graph is sloping upwards as you move to the right, is the function increasing or decreasing?

Increasing 
300

How can you identify a linear pattern from a table of values?

A linear pattern has a constant rate of change between the x-values and y-values (the difference between successive outputs is constant for equal intervals of input.)

300

Plug: f(x)=x^3-4x+3 into desmos

is it a function? How do you know?

yes, because if you preform the vertical line test, the line will not go through the same x twice

300

Isa thinks y=3x+4 and y=-x-4 has a solution. Michelle thinks there is not. Who is right?

Isa (-2,2)

400

Given a linear graph, how can you identify the horizontal and vertical intercepts?

When line passes through x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical)

400

Given a table with values:
x: 1, 2, 3, 4
y: 4, 6, 8, 10

Write the equation of the line that represents this pattern

y=2x+2

400

Plug in f(x)=3x-45 into desmos. 

What is domain and range

D-(−∞,∞)

R-(−∞,∞)

400

The solution to the system x+y=2 and y=3

using subsitution

x+3=2 

x=-1 

y=3

500

Draw a qualitative graph representing someone walking at a constant speed.


Draw on board

A company’s profit is modeled by the equation y=6x−15 , where y is the profit in dollars, and x is the number of items sold. How many items must be sold for the company to have a profit of at least $30?

Extra 25pts- How many items sold will make them earn profit and how much do they make

x=7.5 ---> x=8

We can't sell half a product

x=3 y=$3

Given the function g(x)=3x−7, if g(a)=8, find the value of a

  1. Set up the equation using the function definition: g(a)=3a−7

  2. Set the function equal to 8:

    3a−7=8
  3. Solve for a: 3a=15 --->a=15/3 ---> a=5

There are 13 animals in the barn. Some are chickens and some are pigs. There are 40 legs in all. How many of each animal are there?

There are 13 animals in total: C+P=13

There are 40 legs in total. Chickens have 2 legs each and pigs have 4 legs each: 2C+4P=40 Simplify by dividing by 2 so C+2p=20

Plug-   C+P=13 and  C+2p=20 to desmos
