Graphs of Relationships between Two Variables

Use this scenario to answers questions #1 through #3. A car is traveling across the Midwestern states via Interstate 70. The speed limit is 65MPH. The equation to represent the relationship between the distance the car travels and the time traveled is d = 65 t. Study the table and graph below that was created in Excel and answer the questions.

Rates of Change

Use this scenario to answer questions #7 and #8. Danny and Shelly plan to save money for 20 weeks. Danny is going to add $5 to his savings account every week. Shelly is going to put $30 in the first week, and then alternate, putting $2 in the next week, followed by $5 the week after, and then start the savings pattern over again. The table and graph below records the data for 20 weeks.
