Question 619400: The graphs starts in 1996 and shows the trend through the year 2000; therefore x = 0 represents the year 1996 and x = 4 is 2000.
X = axis (horizontal) = years starting from 0 = 1996 and increasing by 1.0 years
Y = (vertical) = price in $ amounts from 92,500 to 127,000.
a) List the coordinates of any two points on the graph in (x,y) form. The numbers on the norizontal axis are 1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0, and 5.0.
(_______,_______)
b) Find the slope of this line:
c) Find the linear equation of this line in slope-intercept form.
d) If the trend for the growth in the median home value continued, what would be its value in the year 2007? Show how you obtained your answer using the linear equation you found in part c).
e) If the trend continued, in how many years would the median home value be $170,000? Show how you obtained your answer using the linear equation you found in part c).
2) Suppose that the width of a rectangle is three feet shorter than length and that the perimeter of the rectangle is 86 feet.
a) Set up an equation for the perimeter involving only L, the length of the rectangle.
b) Solve this linear equation algebraically to find the length of the rectangle. Find the width as well
Length______,Width______
c) Using the same width from your answer on part b), find a new perimeter when the new length is five less than three times the width.
Explain your work here in one or two sentences:
3) John has a choce of using one of two garages downtown:
Option 1: $8 an hour for the first two hours, then $2 an hour for each hour more than 2; or
Option 2: $4 for each hour
Let x = total hours parked
a) Write a mathematical model representing the total parking cost, C, in terms of x for the following (assume John is parking for more than 2 hours).
Option 1: C=________
Option 2: C=________
b) John plans to spend the day downtown (more than 2 hours), how many total hours would John have to park for the cost of option 1 to be less than option 2. Set up an inequality and show your work algebraically using the information in part a).
