The Power Tower ride begins at 200 ft and passengers drop in 7 seconds. The table represents f(x), a function that can be used to predict the height after various points in time.

On a graph of f(x), this is what the y-intercept represents.

The height at the beginning of the ride (before the drop).

The graph shows the amount of air, y, over the time, x, while Drew is scuba diving. This is the domain and the range of the function shown in the graph.

Domain: 0 ≤ x ≤ 6

Range: 0 ≤ y ≤ 40

Your Gym membership charges 20 dollars a month, plus a fee of 10 dollar fee each time you take a kickboxing class.

Write an equation for to show how your total price (y) is a function of how many classes you take (x).


total price = 10 x (num. of classes) + 20

y = 10x + 20

On a coordinate plane, you have a line with points at (1,1) and at (1,4).

This is the slope of this line.

Undefined, there is no slope.

There are two cell phone plans for texting. Each one's plan can be modeled with an equation where x represents the number of texts over your limit, and y is the total price.

Plan A: y = 0.25x + 17 Plan B: y = 0.15x + 25

Plan B is cheaper BY HOW MUCH if you go 100 texts over your limit?
