Determine whether the relationship between the two quantities shown in the table or graph is linear. If so, find the constant rate of change. If not, explain your reasoning.
1.
SOLUTION:
Analyze the table. The rate of change from 5 hours to 8 hours is or 3 cents per hour. This is the same as the
rate of change from 8 hours to 12 hours, or 3 cents per hour, and from 12 hours to 24 hours, or 3
cents per hour. So, the rate of change is a constant 3¢ per hour.
2.
SOLUTION:
Analyze the table. The rate of change from 1 to 2 seconds, or 14.7 m/s, is not the same as the rate of
change from 2 to 3 seconds, or 24.5 m/s. So, the rate of change is not constant.
3.
SOLUTION:
Analyze the table. As the amount of oil increases by 2 cups, the amount of vinegar increases by cup. Since the
rate of change is constant, it is linear. So, the constant rate of change is
or cup vinegar per cup of oil.

(5, 100) 5 people, $100
(15, 250) 15 people, $250
Determine whether a proportional linear relationship exists between the two quantities shown. Explain your reasoning.
7.
SOLUTION: To determine if the two quantities are proportional, express the relationship between cost and time from the values inthe table as a ratio.
The ratio is a constant 3¢ per hour, so the relationship is proportional.
8.
SOLUTION: To determine if the two quantities are proportional, express the relationship between vinegar and oil from the values in the table as a ratio.
The ratio is a constant cup of vinegar per cup of oil, so the relationship is proportional.
9.
SOLUTION: To determine if the two distances are proportional, express the relationship between actual distance and map distance for the points on the graph as a ratio.
The ratio is a constant miles per inch, so the relationship is proportional.
