I will be able to apply slope intercept
form to word problems.
Pick up your calculator and take out a
sheet of graph paper.

The cost of an ice cream sundae is given by the formula
C(s) = 1.50s + 5.00. In this formula, C(s) represents the
cost of the ice cream sundae and s is the number of scoops
of ice cream. Graph the Equation. What does the slope
represent? What does the y intercept represent?
A generator company installs generators over a number of
days. The company is trying to use the equation y = -10X +
750 to help them figure out when do they need to re-order
generators to have a full stock.
What is the rate of change in this situation?
What is the y intercept?
What is the x intercept?
Draw and label a graph of this situation using the
intercepts.
What does the y intercept represent?
What does the x intercept represent?
What is the domain of this situation?
What is the range of this situation?
A submersible designed to explore ocean floor is at an
elevation of -13,000 feet. The submersible ascends to the
surface at an average rate of 650 feet per minute. The
elevation e (in feet) of the submersible is given by the
function.
e = 650t – 13,000
where t is the time (in minutes) since the submersible began
to ascend.
