Solution: __________________________________________

Explanation / Answer

Part I)

Equation of line is y = mx + c            // "m" is slope and "c" is the constant

2)

5 Hamburgers per week

here the rate is "5"                // hamburger per week is 5

and the constant is "0"

3)

2 donuts per week + 5 donuts

here the rate is "2"               // since the donuts per week is "2"

constant is 5                        // comparing it with y = mx + c , we get c = 5

4 )

100 apples a year – 200 apples

here the rate is 100.              // since the apples in a year is 100.

constant is -200                    // on comparing it with y = mx + c    => we get c = -200

Part II)

1)

we get $50 per hour

he earned a total of $400.

let the time worked by him be "t".

wage per hour * number of hours = total earning

50 * t = 400

t = 8 hours

2)

Jack makes $9.55 an hour.

let the time worked by him be "t".

he has already $ 50 saved up.

he have to save $ 403.35

total money = time * earning per hour + already saved amount

403.35 = t * 9.55 + 50

403.35 - 50 = t * 9.55

353.35 = t * 9.55

t = 37 hours

3)

inaz makes 3 pizza pies an hour

she has already made 5

how long will it take to make 38 pizza pies

let the time taken be t

38 = 3 * t + 5

38 - 5 = 3 * t

33 = 3 t

t = 11 hours

4)

Jaques rides 22.5 miles a day.

How long will it take him to accumulate 202.5 miles

let the time taken by him be t

22.5 * t = 202.5

t = 9 days
