Math Slope

The table shows the number of gallons of gasoline in a car's gas tank after the car has been driven x miles.

When these data are graphed on a coordinate grid, the points all lie on the same line. What are the slope and y-intercept of this line?

• Slope = 1/25, y-intercept = 375

• Slope = -1/25, y-intercept = 15

• Slope = 25, y-intercept = 375

• Slope = -25, y-intercept = 15

Julie sells birthday cards. The graph models the linear relationship between the number of boxes of cards she sells and her profit.

Which of these best describes the profit Julie makes from selling these cards?

• $7.50 per box

• $10.00 per box

• $4.00 per 30 boxes

• $3.00 per 4 boxes

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear function shown on the grid?

• Slope = 4, y-intercept = -6

• Slope = -4, y-intercept = -1.5

• Slope = -1/4, y-intercept = -1.5

• Slope = 1/4, y-intercept = -6

The ticket sales for a concert started at 4:00 P.M. The table shows the linear relationship between the number of tickets remaining and the number of hours since 4:00 P.M.

Which function can be used to find y, the number of tickets remaining x hours since 4:00 P.M.?

• y = 3,000x + 12,000

• y = 3,000x + 15,000

• y = -3,000x + 12,000

• y = -3,000x + 15,000

• y = 1/5x

• y = 2x

• y = 1/2x

Jerry is saving $25 that he earned for washing his mom's car. He earns $10 every week for doing chores, which he also saves.

Which function can be used to find t, the amount of money Jerry will have saved at the end of n weeks of doing chores?

• t = 10n + 25

• t = 25n + 10

• t = 35n

• t = 15n

Which function is best represented by this graph?
