    1) A student created linear equations to predict the score of UCLA and USC basketball teams throughout a game based on the minute being played. 2) The student's equations show that UCLA's score can be calculated as y=5/4x-2 and USC's score as y=3/4x+2, where x is the minute of the game and y is the score. 3) The document asks questions about using the equations to predict scores at different minutes and which team will ultimately win based on extrapolating the scores over a full 40 minute game.

    UCLA vs. USC


    A math student at East Whittier Middle School figured out that you can predict what score each team will
    have every minute of the UCLA vs USC basketball game. The student says that every team has their own
    linear equation that tells you how many points that team has at any particular minute.
    In each team’s equation, this is what x and y stand for:
    x = the minute of the game that is being played
    y = the number of points the team has at any particular minute

    UCLA’s equation is: USC’s equation is:


    5 3
    y= x−2 y= x+2
    4 4
    1. Graph both equations below for the first half consisting of 20 minutes. Be sure to label the x- and y-
    axes correctly.
    2. What happens in the fourth minute of the game? ________________________________________
    3. At what minute will each team have the same score? ________
    4. Who is going to win the game? (There are two 20-minute halves for a total of 40 minutes.) ________
    5. What will the final score be? UCLA __________ and USC ___________
    6. What is wrong with this model?
