Mathematical Investigations II Name Mathematical Investigations II Linear Thinking Review – Part I 1. Write an equation of the line with slope 5 that goes through (1,3). 2. Write an equation of the line through the points (1,6) and (2,-3). 3. Write an equation of the line parallel to 3x - 4y = 6, which passes through (-2,4). 4. Write an equation of the line with an x-intercept of 3 and perpendicular to 4x = 2y - 6. 5. Write a recursive and an explicit formula for the following arithmetic sequences: a. 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, …. b. 1, -2, -5, -8, -11, …. c. The arithmetic sequence with a2 = 4 and a8 = -14. Linear Thinking 8.1 Rev. S03 Mathematical Investigations II Name 6. Graph the line y = 2x + 3 on the xy-coordinate plane. 7. a. Graph the line -2x - 3y = 6 on the xy-coordinate plane. b. Shade in the region where -2x - 3y < 6. 8. Which of the following relationships are linear? Explain your reasoning a. Population of the United States vs. year. Year Population (in millions) 1790 1860 1910 1960 2000 4 31 92 179 281 b. Area of a circle vs. its diameter. c. Distance traveled vs. time for a car traveling a constant speed of 60 mph. d. Volume of a box with height 10 inches vs. the area of its base. Linear Thinking 8.2 Rev. S03 Mathematical Investigations II Name 9. The following table shows the Public debt in trillions of dollars for some of the years from 1991 to 2001. Year National Debt 1991 3.67 1992 4.06 1993 4.41 1994 4.69 1996 5.22 1997 5.41 1998 5.53 1999 5.66 2000 5.67 2001 5.81 a. If you were to graph the data, what would x and y represent? x= y= b. What would be an appropriate window for this data? <x< <y< c. Use your calculator to make a scatter plot of the data and derive the median-median line and the linear regression line. d. Is there a linear relationship between the year and the Public debt? Explain your reasoning. e. What does the slope of each of these lines mean? f. What does the y-intercept of each of these lines mean? g. Using your equation in part c), estimate the Public debt for the year 1995. h. Estimate the Public debt for the year 2003. i. How accurate do you believe that your answers for g) and h) are? Explain. Linear Thinking 8.3 Rev. S03 Mathematical Investigations II Name 10.
