What does it mean if a table is linear?
The y-axis is increasing or decreasing by a constant amount.
The formula for inverse variation
y = k/ x
Is the table linear? Why or why not?
x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
y -1 4 0 6 2 8 3 10
No because it is not increasing by a constant amount
Describe the shape of a graph that represents an inverse variation relationship. Be sure to include whether or not it touches the origin.
The graph is rounded and shows as one quantity increases, another decreases. It does not touch the x or y axis.
Find the slope of the table:
x 2 4 6 8 10
y 0 6 12 18 24
Slope is 3
Write an equation to represent the table below:
x 12 10 6 4 2
y 1 1.2 2 3 6
y = 12/ x
Write an equation from the table
x 0 1 2 3 4
y 1 5 9 13 17
y = 4x + 1
Ten 7th graders said that ELA was their favorite subject out of 20 who were surveyed.
Ten 8th graders said that ELA was their favorite subject out of 100 who were surveyed.
Are 7th and 8th graders equally likely to chose ELA as their favorite subject? Tell why or why not.
No, 10/20 = 50% of 7th graders who like ELA, while 10/100= 10% of 8th graders who like ELA.
What is the y-intercept of the table:
x 1 2 3 4 5
y 2 5 8 11 14
y-intercept is -1
This measure describes the strength of a linear relationship between two variables using a decimal number between -1 and 1.
