100

The ratio comparing the change in output over the change in input.

slope (or gradient)

100

Write the equation of the line.

y=-4

100

Number of solutions to the system of equations

y=-2/3x+5

 and

y=-2/3x-5

.

None.

The lines are parallel and have different y-intercepts, so they never cross.  No solution.

100

Interpret the slope in the following graph.

For every 200 miles you drive, a car uses 8 gallons of gas (or...for every 1 mile you drive, a car uses 0.04 gallons of gas).

100

Write the linear equation in function notation.

12-4x=y

f(x)=-4x+12

200

The output when the input is zero.

y-intercept

200

Convert to Slope-Intercept form.

4y-3x+24=0

y=3/4x+6

200

Solution to the system of equations 3x+5y=8 and 4x+3y=7 if

(1,y)

.

(1,1)

200

The height of a plant (in meters) based on the amount of rainfall it receives (in cm) can be modeled by the linear equation 

h(r)=0.005r+1.5

Explain what the slope is communicating in the context of the problem.

For every centimeter of rain the plan receives, the plant grows 0.005 meters (or 0.5 cm).

200

Find the value of

g(-3)

 for the linear function 

g(w)=2w-17

(-3,-23)

300

An expression in math that has no meaning.  For example, the slope of a vertical line.

undefined

300

Write the Slope-Intercept form equation of a line through the points (-4, 2) and (8, 8).

y=1/2x+4

300

Find the solution to the system.

5x+3y+19=0 and 

3y+8x=-25

(-2,-3)

300

There are 2 delivery companies.  Dana’s Delivery charges 100 baisa per km and charges a flat fee of 15 rials.  Verner’s Vehicles charges 200 baisa per km and charges a flat fee of 8 rials.  For what number of kilometers would both companies charge the same amount.

A delivery of 70 km would cost 22 rails for both companies.
300

Value that causes

b(c)=44

 for the function 

7-3c=b(c)

c=-17

(-17,44)

400

Finding a line of best fit and an equation to model a data set.

linear regression
400

Write the STANDARD form equation of a line through the points (4, -7) and (-3, 5).

12x+7y=-1

400

Find the solution to the system.

y=0.5x+2

 and 

x-2y=-4

Infinite Solutions

(same line...same slope & same y-intercept)

Cyrus wants to invest in the stock of two companies, a technology company and a drug company.  After some Google searching, Cyrus finds out that technology stock cost $25 per share and drug stock costs $15 per share.  Cyrus intends to invest $3000.

How much of each type of stock can he purchase?

125 drug stocks

45 technology stocks

400

Let

h(x)=4x-3

.  If h(a)=9 and h(b)=5, find the value of h(a+b).

a=3

and

b=2

 so

h(a+b)=17
