CCSS.HSF.IF.A.1

A car rental company charges a flat fee of $50 plus $20 per day for renting a car. Write a linear equation to represent the total cost (y) in terms of the number of days (x) the car is rented.

• y = 50x + 20

• y = 50x - 20

• y = 20x - 50

• y = 20x + 50

A phone company charges a monthly fee of $30 and $0.10 per minute for calls. Write a linear equation to represent the total cost (y) in terms of the number of minutes (x) used.

• y = 30x + 0.10

• y = 30 + 0.10x

• y = 0.10x - 30

• y = 30 - 0.10x

How can linear equations be used to model real-life situations?

• Linear equations are too simplistic to accurately model the complexities of real-life situations.

• Linear equations can only be used for theoretical calculations and not for real-life situations.

• Linear equations are only applicable to abstract mathematical problems and not to real-life scenarios.

• Linear equations can be used to model real-life situations by representing relationships between two variables that have a constant rate of change.

CCSS.8.F.A.3

Explain the significance of the slope in a linear equation.

• The slope in a linear equation has no significance

• The slope in a linear equation represents the y-intercept

• The slope in a linear equation is always equal to 1

• The significance of the slope in a linear equation is that it indicates how much the dependent variable (y) changes for a unit change in the independent variable (x).
