A landscaper charges each customer a flat rate of $150 to develop a plan for the landscaping of an outdoor space. The landscaper also charges $22.50 for each hour of manual labor invested in the landscaping. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of hours of manual labor, x, and the total cost, y, for the customer to plan and landscape an outdoor space.

Malinda drains her 900 gallon swimming pool at a rate of 50 gallons of water per hour. Which linear equation represents this situation?

• y = -850x + 50

• y = -50x + 900

• y = -900x + 50

• y = -950x + 50

Jeremy is in a bike race against a professional bicyclist. He is given a 3 mile head start and he rides his bike at a constant rate of 15 miles per hour. Which linear equation represents Jeremy's situation?

• y = 15x + 3

• y = 3x + 15

• y = 12x

• y = 18x + 15

Consider the relation {(x, y) | y = x^2}. Is this a function?

• Yes, because for each x, there is only one y.

• No, because x can have multiple values for y.

• Yes, because x is positive.

• No, because it’s not a linear relation.

Given the set of ordered pairs {(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)}, explain whether adding the pair (1, 7) would make the relation not a function.

• Yes, because 1 is already paired with 2.

• No, because 7 is a different number.

• Yes, because 7 is larger than 2.

• No, because each number is paired with exactly one.

A teacher conducts an experiment where students study for different amounts of time and then take a math test. She records their scores. What conclusion can she make about the independent and dependent variables?

• The independent variable is the test scores, and the dependent variable is the study time.

• The independent variable is the study time, and the dependent variable is the test scores.

• Both study time and test scores are independent variables.

• The study time has no impact on the test scores, so there are no dependent or independent variables.
