Real-Life Linear Equations: Graphing & Data Analysis

A car rental company charges a base fee of $20 plus $0.15 per mile driven. Write the linear equation that represents the total cost (C) in terms of miles driven (m). Graph this equation and analyze how the cost changes with distance.

• C = 20 + 0.50m

• C = 20 - 0.15m

• C = 20 + 0.15m

• C = 0.15m - 20

A researcher collected data on the number of hours students study and their corresponding test scores. The data shows a linear relationship. If the equation of the line is y = 5x + 60, where y is the test score and x is the hours studied, what would be the expected score for a student who studies for 4 hours?

A store found that for every 10% increase in advertising budget, sales increase by approximately $2000. If the current advertising budget is $5000, write a linear equation to model the relationship between the advertising budget (B) and sales (S). How much would sales be if the budget is increased to $7000?

A farmer notices that for every additional hour of watering, the crop yield increases by 50 pounds. If the initial yield is 200 pounds with 2 hours of watering, write the linear equation for yield (Y) based on hours of watering (h). Graph this equation and interpret the slope.

• Y = 50h + 100

• Y = 100h + 200

• Y = 50h + 150

• Y = 25h + 200
