Algebra I Unit: Graphing Linear Equations and Inequalities Homework: MS UNIT

Name: Date: _________________

This packet contains your homework for MS Unit. It will take you 10 days to complete the packet, at a rate of 1 page per day. If you have questions, come see me during the Unit. That way, you will have Carnival Break to fix any mistakes. This packet must be completed in paper (notebook / printed copy). 1. Determine whether each equation models a linear function. Write yes or no. If yes, write the equation in standard form

2. Find the x-intercepts and the y-intercepts of each linear function (

= 1)

3. Graph the equation of the line

by building a table.

4. A telephone company charges $4.95 per month plus $0.05 per minute. The monthly cost of the plan can be described by the equation , where m is the number of minutes. a. Find the y-intercept of the line, without graphing.

b. Graph the equation. c. If you talk 140 minutes in a month, how much will your plan cost?

5. A bus is driving at 60 miles per hour toward a bus station that is 250 miles away. The function represents the distance from the bus station the bus is t hours after it has started driving. The zero is, for what value of t is . Describe what this value means in this context.

6. Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points

10. Graph each equation. Show rise and run.

11. Male fireflies flash in various patterns to signal location and perhaps to ward off predators. Different species of fireflies have different flash characteristics, such as the intensity of the flash, its rate, and its shape. The table below shows the rate at which a male firefly is flashing.

a. Write an equation in function notation for the relation. (Write the rule)

b. How many times will the firefly flash in 20 seconds?

12. Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form with the given slope and y-intercept. slope: 5, y-intercept: -3 slope: -6; y-intercept: -2 slope: 3, y-intercept: 2 slope: 1, y-intercept: -12
