    The document describes an activity on graphing linear systems to solve a real-world problem about renting cars from two different companies, Enterprise and Hertz. Students are asked to: 1) Write equations to model the cost of renting from each company based on a flat fee plus a fee per mile. 2) Create a table of values and graph the equations on the same coordinate plane using different colors. 3) Estimate the intersection point from looking at the graph. 4) Explain that the intersection point represents the break-even mileage at which the total costs are equal for each company. 5) Determine when it is better to rent from each company based on expected mileage.

    Unit 4: Graphing Linear Systems

    Activity
    Standard: HSA-REI.C.6. Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately
    (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.
    Objective: Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per
    unit relative to another to solve real-world problems. Solve systems of linear
    equations by graphing and reasoning

    Cant I Rent a Car?


    Imagine that your friends are planning a wonderful vacation trip to the beach.
    You will need to rent a car and are comparing different prices.

    Enterprise charges a flat fee of $50 and an additional $2 per mile driven.
    Hertz charges a flat fee of $70 and an additional $1 per mile driven.

    a) Write equations to model the cost of renting a car from:


    Enterprise

    Hertz

    b) Complete a table of values for each equation.


    ENTERPRISE

    HERTZ

    c) Graph the equations on the same graph.


    Use 2 different colors.

    d) Estimate the intersection by looking at the graph.

    e) What does the intersection represent? Use a complete sentence.

    f) When is it better to rent from Hertz? When is it better to rent from Enterprise?
