Which three go together? Why do they go together?
Jada told Noah that she has $2 worth of quarters and dimes in her pocket and 17 coins all together. She asked him to guess how many of each type of coin she has.
Here is a table that shows some combinations of quarters and dimes that are worth $2. Complete the table.
| number of quarters | number of dimes |
|---|---|
| 0 | 20 |
| 4 | |
| 0 | |
| 5 | |
Here is a graph of the relationship between the number of quarters and the number of dimes when there are a total of 17 coins.
Clare and Andre are making signs for all the lockers as part of the decorations for the upcoming spirit week. Yesterday, Andre made 15 signs and Clare made 5 signs. Today, they need to make more signs. Each person's progress today is shown in the coordinate plane.
| point | what it says | Clare | Andre |
|---|---|---|---|
| At 40 minutes, I have 25 signs completed. | |||
| At 75 minutes, I have 42 and a half signs completed. | |||
| At 0 minutes, I have 15 signs completed. | |||
| At 100 minutes, I have 60 signs completed. |
We studied linear relationships in an earlier unit. We learned that values of
For example, let’s plan the base rocks for a terrarium. We have
Because 5 pounds of river rocks cost $4.00 and 10 pounds of unpolished rocks cost $5.00, we know that
The line shown is the graph of the equation. Notice that there are 2 points shown that are not on the line. What do they mean in the context?
The point
Suppose we also know that the river rocks and unpolished rocks together weigh 15 pounds. That means that
If we draw the graph of this equation on the same coordinate plane, we see it passes through 2 of the 3 labeled points:
The point
In general, if we have 2 lines in the coordinate plane and we have their corresponding equations,
