Determine whether the following sequence is arithmetic. 18, 16, 15, 13, ...
no
100
Is the following relationship proportional? Explain. x 1 2 3 4 5 y 75 150 225 300 375
Yes. Because the ratio between x and y is constant and the line with pass through the origin.

Graph the following equation by using the x- and y-intercepts: x + 2y = 4
[see p.159 # 9]
200
Determine whether the function is linear. x -7 -4 -1 2 5 y 5 4 3 2 1
Yes; the rate of change is constant

Suppose y varies directly with x. Write a direct variation equation, then solve. If y = 15 when x = 12, find y when x is 32.
y = (5/4)x; 40
200
Determine whether the following sequence is arithmetic. 4, 9, 14, 19, ...
yes; d = 5

Write an equation in function notation for the following graph.
f(x) = 2x
300
Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 6x + 2y = 8
x: 1.3 y: 4
300
Determine whether the function is linear. x 8 12 16 20 24 y 7 5 3 0 -2
No, the rate of change is not constant
300
Graph the equation. y = -7x
[see p. 186 #17]
300
Find the next 3 terms in the arithmetic sequence. 12, 9, 6, 3, ...
0, -3, -6
300
Write an equation in function notation for the following graph.
f(x) = 3x - 2
400
Solve the following equation by graphing (find the root). 12x + 132 = 12x - 100
no solution

Write and graph a direct variation equation that relates the variables. "Music downloads are $0.99 per song. The total cost of d songs is T."
T=0.99d
400
Write an equation for the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence. The graph the first 5 terms. 15, 13, 11, 9, ...
= 17 - 2n
400
For the arithmetic sequence, determine the related function. Then, determine whether or not the relation is proportional or non-proportional. -4, 0, 4, ...
f(n) = 4n - 8; non-proportional because the graph will not pass through the origin.
