Graphing Slope Intercept Real World

A dragon fly can beat its wings 30 times per second. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that shows the relationship between flying time in seconds and the number of times the dragonfly beats its wings. 

• y=30x
• y=x+30
• y=1/30x
• y=2x+7

Use the graph to find the slope of the line.  Tell what the slope means in this context. 

• m=.125 ; the diver ascends at a rate of .125 m/s
• m=8 ; the diver ascends at a rate of 8 m/s
• m=.125 ; the diver descends at a rate of .125 m/s
• m=8 ; the diver descends at a rate of 8 m/s

Identify the y-intercept. Tell what the y-intercept means in this context.

• b=-8 ; the diver starts ascending from 8 meters below the water's surface.
• b=10 ; the diver starts descending from 10 meters above the water's surface.
• b=-10 ; the diver starts descending from 10 meters below the water's surface.
• b=-10 ; the diver starts ascending from 10 meters below the water's surface.

A driving range charges $4 to rent a golf club plus $2.75 for every bucket of golf balls you hit. Write an equation that shows the total cost c of hitting b buckets of golf balls.

• c = 2.75b + 4
• c = 2.75b
• c =  4b- 2.75
• c = 2.75b - 4

A camp charges families a fee of $625 per month for one child and a certain amount more per month for each additional child. Use the graph to write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent the amount a family with x additional children would pay.

• y = 625x + 225
• y = 225x 
• y = 225x + 625
• y =  625
