Get the Math and the Points Aug 2014 CC Alg I #7

Aug 14 CC Algebra 1 7We are looking for the point out of the four listed that lies in the double hatched area on the right lower part of the graph.  (below the dotted line and above the solid line).
Be mindful of how (7,0) and (0,7) differ
Can use the 2nd Draw menu:  It can barely be seen on the x-axis but check out the graph below carefully and you will see a dot at (7,0).  See the double hatched area above!
That’s it — 2 more points :)

Linear vs Exponential
Look at the pattern of t(x) which are the y values.
Every time x goes up by 2 (from -3 to -1, or -1 to 1, 1 to 3, or 3 to 5), t(x) goes down by 2.5.
This means that there is a constant rate of change or slope and that the function is linear.
These points can be plotted on graph paper to see if they will make a line which they do :)

Here is some more practice from the awesome site www.emathinstruction.com
