The video tutorial explains different types of slopes and how they model linear relationships. It uses real-world examples like water drainage and temperature changes to illustrate these concepts. The video also discusses piecewise functions and their application in analyzing trends, such as recycling rates over time.

What type of slope is represented by a line that goes straight across a graph?

• Increasing slope

• Decreasing slope

• Undefined slope

• Zero slope

In a linear relationship, what does the Y-intercept represent?

• The rate of change

• The average value

• The maximum value

• The starting value

If a graph shows a line going down from left to right, what does this indicate about the slope?

• The slope is zero

• The slope is undefined

• The slope is increasing

• The slope is decreasing

In the water tank example, what was the initial amount of water?

• 100 gallons

• 150 gallons

• 250 gallons

• 200 gallons

What was the rate of change in the water tank example?

• 5 gallons per minute

• 8 gallons per minute

• 10 gallons per minute

• 12 gallons per minute

During which time period did the temperature increase at a steeper rate?

• Between 6:00 and 8:00 a.m.

• Between 4:00 and 6:00 a.m.

• Between 1:30 and 4:00 a.m.

• Between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m.

What happens to the temperature between 6:00 a.m. and 12 noon?

• It fluctuates

• It remains constant

• It increases

• It decreases

What is a piecewise function?

• A function with a single linear segment

• A function with multiple linear segments

• A function with no linear segments

• A function with a constant value

In the recycling example, what happened to the recycling rates before 1995?

• They decreased

• They increased rapidly

• They remained constant

• They increased slowly

What does a decreasing segment in a piecewise function indicate?

• An increase in value

• A decrease in value

• A constant value

• An undefined value
