Pledge Problems

Plan A- $10 regardless of miles


Plan B- $2 per mile


Plan C-$5 plus $.50 per mile


Which plan is better? Why? Give three justifications (graph, table, equation)


Equations-

Plan A- $10      

Plan B- 2x=n   (x=miles, n=$)

Plan C- Miles x .50= $


What characteristics will be in all linear equations?
 -a constant of proportionality (multiply it by the independent variable)
-An equations that works for everything in the pattern (pos, neg, even, odd)
- Dependent variable = (indep. variable) (constant of proportionality)
-Amount $= (miles walked) x (4)
-unit rate***

Class is not entirely firm on these ideas.
