Karim fill his cars petrol tank up with 180 Liters of petrol. Each day he uses 2 litres of petrol going to work. He wants to know how much petrol he has in his car. Identify the independent and dependent variables in this relationship.

Construct a table-of-values to represent how Jeremy savings is changing.

x y

Does this table represent a linear relationship? Explain why/why not

Will the slope be positive or negative? Explain how you can tell from the table-of-values.

Graph the data on the axes below (set up suitable axes)

What is the slope of the graph? What is the y-intercept and what does it represent in this context?

Find the equation that models this scenario.

Use the equation to find how much petrol Karim has in the tank after 19 days.

Use the equation to find how many days is takes for Karim to have only 16 litres of petrol left.

1. Here is the cross section of a house. It is getting a new roof built on the house. There are a few more calculations the builders need to do before they can finish.

a) The beams AB and BC need to be equal in length. Can you prove this for the builder?

(3 marks)

b)

Find the coordinates of the point D where the support beam from B meets the cross beam AC. (1 mark)

c)

How long is the support beam BD?

(1 mark)

d) The final part of the roof construction is the addition of two metal trusses to support the beams AB and BC. The base of the two trusses will be placed at point D and reach AB at its midpoint M and reach BC at its point N. Draw the two trusses on the diagram, clearly labeling M and N and determine the coordinates of M and N.
