1. Robert pays for his family to go to the fair. He pays an initial entrance fee and an additional cost per ride as shown on the graph.
- The cost per ride is $1.50. (True)
- The situation can be represented by the equation y = 15x + 1.5. (False)
- The initial entrance fee was $15. (True)
Rewrite the false statement to make it true: The situation can be represented by the equation y = 1.5x + 15.
2. Hanna works at an aquarium and needs to drain the seahorse tank for cleaning. The gallons of water in the tank based on the number of minutes it has been draining is shown in the table below.
- The situation can be represented by the equation y = 2.5x + 60. (False)
- The aquarium initially contained 60 gallons of water. (True)
- The aquarium drains at a rate of 2.5 gallons per minute. (True)
Rewrite the false statement to make it true: The situation can be represented by the equation y = -2.5x + 60.
3. The balance of Sam's account, y, based on the number of weeks spent saving, x, can be represented by y = 35x + 10. The balance of his sister's account based on the weeks spent saving is shown on the graph.
