Linear Slope Applications

If you buy pens ($0.55 each) and a binder ($2.39) and only have $10 in your pocket.

What type of linear function should you write to model this situation?

• Slope-Intercept Form

• Standard Form

• Point-Slope Form

If you buy pens ($0.55 each) and a binder ($2.39) and only have $10 in your pocket.

Write a linear function to model this situation.

• y = 0.55x + 10

• 0.55x + 2.39y = 10

• 10x + 0.55y = 2.39

• y = 0.55x + 2.39

A store sells t-shirts for $12 each and sweatshirts for $15 each. You plan to spend $120 on t-shirts and sweatshirts.

Write a linear function to model this situation.

• 2x + 5y = 120

• 12x + 15y = 120

• 12 + 15y = 2x

• y = 12x + 15
