1. Wendys backyard swimming pool is being filled by a pump. The amount of water in the pool (W,
measured in gallons) at any time (t, measured in hours) is given by the following equation:
W = 175t + 1850
a. How many gallons of water are being pumped in each hour?
b. How much water was in the pool at the start?
c. After 11 hours, how much water was in the pool? Explain OR show how you got your answer
2. Joley is planning to start saving pennies.
Her plan is to search around her house for as many pennies as she can find.
Each month, she will try to find and save triple the number of pennies she saved the previous month.
For example, if she saves 5 pennies this month she will save 15 pennies next month, 45 pennies the
following month, 135 pennies the following month, and so on.
Is the relationship between the number of months Joley saves pennies and the number of pennies she
saves linear? Explain Why or Why not.

4. To encourage customers, a new video store is offering memberships. The membership costs $65 a
year plus $3 per video. For non-members, the cost of a video is $7.25.
a. Make a table that shows the # of videos, (N), and the cost for members (C
1
) and non-members (C
2
).

b. If you were to show this relationship on a graph which variable would be shown on each axis
x axis: y axis:
c. Write an equation that shows the number of videos, (N), and the cost for members (C

) and non-
members (C

).
Member (equation) Non-Member (equation)
d. What is the slope of each line of the equations in part (c)?
Member (slope) Non-Member (slope)
e. Use words to explain the real world meaning of the slope in the context of the problem.
f. What is the y-intercept of each line of the equations in part (c)?
Member (y-intercept) Non-Member (y-intercept)
g. Use words to explain the real world meaning of the y-intercept in the context of the problem.
h. If you were to show the relationships between cost and number of videos for members and non-
members on a graph would the point (12, 87) be on either line? Explain or show how you know.
5. For each table, determine if the relationship represented is linear or non-linear.
For all linear relationships, write an equation to represent the relationship.
For all non-linear relationships, write the word Non-Linear.
