Linear Equation Word Problems Challenge

The video tutorial covers solving word problems using slope-intercept form. It begins with an introduction to word problems and moves on to solving a problem involving Marty's spending. The tutorial then addresses a UPS shipping charge problem, followed by creating an equation for yoga lesson costs. It also includes a problem about purchasing hamburger and chicken, demonstrating how to write and convert equations between standard and slope-intercept forms. Finally, the video explains linear estimation using a population prediction model.

What is the average rate at which Marty is spending money?

• 3 dollars per week

• 14 dollars per week

• 3 dollars per day

• 68 dollars per day

What is the slope in the equation representing Marty's spending?

• -3

• 3

• 68

• -68

What is the intercept in the equation y = -3x + b for Marty's spending?

• 68

• 14

• 110

• 3

How much does UPS charge for each additional item shipped?

• 66 dollars

• 14 dollars

• 7 dollars

• 10 dollars

What is the basic shipping charge for the first item if the cost for nine items is 66 dollars?

• 66 dollars

• 10 dollars

• 56 dollars

• 7 dollars

What is the registration fee for yoga lessons?

• 100 dollars

• 12 dollars

• 200 dollars

• 236 dollars

What is the cost per lesson for yoga classes?

• 100 dollars

• 200 dollars

• 12 dollars

• 36 dollars

What is the equation in standard form for buying hamburger and chicken with 60 dollars?

• 1.5x + 2.5y = 60

• 1.5x + 2.5y = 24

• 1.5x + 2.5y = 0

• 0.6x + 24y = 60

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation 1.5x + 2.5y = 60?

• y = 0.6x + 24

• y = 1.5x + 60

• y = -1.5x + 60

• y = -0.6x + 24

• 18 million

• 17.62 million

• 17.4 million

• 0.22 million
