Thanksgiving Weekend Assignment
Below is a graph that shows the relationship between temperature and the number of visitors at
a beach.

1. Draw a linear model to represent the data. Then find the slope of the line.

2. Use the slope of the linear model to describe the relationship between average daily
temperature and visitors.

4. It cost $400 to rent a sports center. Mr. Washington wants to see how the price will
change depending on how many sponsors contribute money. If the sponsors are evenly
splitting the price, complete a table from 2 to 20 in intervals of 2 to see how the price will
change based on how many sponsors contribute.

Number
of
Sponsors
(n)
Cost (c)

5. Write an equation to represent the table. How much money will each sponsor contribute if
Mr. Washington got 15 sponsors to contribute?

Equation: _____________________

n=15

c= _______________

6. Graph the data in the table. Use intervals of 2 for your x-axis, intervals of 25 for your yaxis, and label your graph.

7. Greg charges $15 per haircut at the barber shop. But he spends $60 to rent the chair at
the shop. Write an equation to represent his profit. Profit = Income Expenses. Next use
your equation to find out how much profit (p) he will he make if he does 7 haircuts (h)?

Equation: _________________________

8. Complete the table below to show how much Greg will make based on the number of
haircuts he does.

9. For Mr. Washington and Greg, describe the type of relationship. Choose between linear
and inverse variation. Use the tables, equations, and graphs to explain how you know
which one is linear and which one is inverse variation.

10.Write a linear equation in the form y=mx+b for each.

11.Solve the following equations

12.Identify the slope and y-intercept for each. (Hint: 2 nd equation must be rewritten in slope
intercept form.)
y= 2.5x-4

3x + 2y = 8

13. Write an equation for the following inverse variation

14.Tell which store offers the better deal for tomatoes and cucumbers.
