4. yes; yes; A system of linear equations has no
solution when the two lines are parallel because
parallel lines do not intersect. A system of linear
equations has many solutions when the equations
are the same when written in slope-intercept form.
Sample answer: The system of equations consisting
of 4 y x = + and 6 y x = + has no solution
because the lines are parallel, as you can see from
the graph.

2. a. linear
b. nonlinear
The bowling ball has an increasing speed.
3. If the rate of change is constant, the pattern is
linear.
Sample answer:
linear: area of a triangle with a base of 6 and a
height of x
nonlinear: height and age
6.4 Practice
1. 2.
The graph is nonlinear. The graph is linear.
3. linear; The graph is a line.
4. nonlinear; The graph is not a line.
5. nonlinear; The area increases by different amounts
as the side length increases by one.
6.5 Activity
1. a. The graph has no numerical values or tick marks
on the axes. The graph itself has no points
plotted or labeled. There are no equations shown.
It is made up of several different linear graphs.
b. At first, the graph is constant (horizontal line
segment), so the water level is not changing.
It then increases at a constant rate, so the water
level rises. The graph is then constant again,
so the water level peaks and does not change.
Finally the graph decreases at a constant rate,
so the water level falls back down.
c. water level of a river before, during, and after a
rainstorm
2. a. C; Sample answer: The graph increases when
your speed increases, is horizontal when your
speed is constant, and decreases when you
slow down.
b. A; Sample answer: The graph increases when
your speed increases, and then gets steeper when
you go faster down a hill. When you come to a
quick stop, the speed decreases to zero.
c. D; Sample answer: The graph increases when
your speed increases, decreases when you come
to a stop, and is zero when you are in the store.
d. B; Sample answer: That graph is horizontal
when the speed is constant and decreases when
you go up a hill. When you are at the top of the
hill and your speed increases, the graph
increases.
3. a. Both graphs are increasing over time. Graph B
is linear and increasing at a constant rate of
change. Graph A is nonlinear and increasing at
a faster rate, compared to Graph B.
b. At first, Graph B is steeper and increasing at a
faster rate than Graph A. But over time, Graph A
gets much steeper than Graph B.
c. Graph A; The height of the rocket above the
ground increases slowly at first during takeoff
and then increases rapidly as the rocket gains
speed.
4. a. Both graphs are decreasing over time. Graph B
is linear and decreasing at a constant rate of
change. Graph A is nonlinear and decreasing at
a faster rate, then it flattens out.
b. At first, Graph A is steeper and decreasing at a
faster rate than Graph B. But over time, Graph A
flattens out and is decreasing less and less,
compared to Graph B.
c. Graph B; Graph A shows that the cars speed
never is zero, indicating that it slows as it
approaches a yield sign. Graph B shows that the
cars speed decreases to zero, indicating that it
approaches a stop sign.

1. a. Sample answer:
b. (5, 9), (1.6, 5.3), (1.4, 7), (21, 30), (15, 27),
(16, 28), (7, 12), (2, 8), (10, 26)

c. Sample answer: As weight increases, the
circumference increases. Yes, there appear to
be two clusters of data points.
d. yes; positive; As x increases, C increases; yes;
linear; The data points lie close to a line.
e. The ordered pair that represents the bowling ball
is (225, 27). This data point is far removed from
the other points. It is an outlier.
2. a. (0, 95), (3, 88), (2, 90), (5, 83), (7, 79), (9, 70),
(4, 85), (1, 94), (10, 65), (8, 75)

b. Sample answer: As the number of absences
increases, the final grade decreases. It is similar
because these data points also lie close to a line.
It is different because the data points are falling
from left to right.
c. Sample answer: 80; The points (5, 83) and
(7, 79) are on the graph. So, when 6, x = the
y-value should be between 79 and 83.
3. a. ii; There is no relationship between month of
birth and birth weights of infants. So, the points
should show no pattern.
b. i; Because students who did well on the quiz will
most likely do well on the test, as the quiz scores
increase, so will the test scores.
c. iii; As the age of the laptop computer increases,
the value will decrease.
4. Sample answer: A scatter plot is a graph that shows
the relationship between two data sets.
5. To construct a scatter plot, use the horizontal axis
of a coordinate plane to represent one of the data
sets. Use the vertical axis to represent the other data
set. Write the ordered pairs that represent the data.
Then plot the ordered pairs on your coordinate
plane. Once the ordered pairs are plotted, you can
determine whether the points show a positive
or negative relationship, a linear or nonlinear
relationship, and whether there are any clusters or
gaps in the data. You can also use a scatter plot to
identify any outliers, points that are far from the
other data points.

3. You can plot data you know and then draw a line
that best approximates the points. Then, you can
write an equation and use it to predict an event.
4. Answer should include, but is not limited to: Make
sure that the data can be described by a line.
9.2 Practice
1. a.
b. Sample answer: 200 1400 y x = +
c. The slope is 200 and the y-intercept is 1400.
So, you could predict that at the beginning of
the five months the credit card balance is $1400.
The balance decreases $200 every month.
d. Sample answer: $200
2. 1.35 2.1; 0.958; y x = This implies strong
negative correlation between x and y.
3. 0.38 5.7; 0.356; y x = + This implies very weak
positive correlation between x and y.

c. Bottom row: 25, 30, 35, 30, 25
Right column: 29, 29, 29, 29, 29
Bottom right cell: 145
d. Sample answer: For every category of shirt,
order the number of shirts sold last year minus
the number remaining. If the result is a negative
number, then do not order any shirts in that
category. Also, order a couple extra of the shirts
that were all sold. For example, order 6 1 5 =
large blue and white shirts, order 1 4 3, =
or 0, small red-and-white shirts, and order extra
of the extra-large black-and-gold shirts.
2. a.
b. Sample answer: There are fewer boys working
part-time jobs than girls. The number of students
working 0 hours per week is greater than the
number of students working 17 hours per week,
which is greater than the number of students
working 8+ hours per week.
c. no; The data do not support or oppose the claim
because the data are not about students dropping
out or working full-time jobs.

3. To read a two-way table, note that each entry
represents the number of data values that fit both
the criteria for the row and column the entry is in.
The entries in the Total row and column represent
the number of data values that fit the one criterion
in that column or row.
To make a two-way table for a data set, use one
variable that describes the data for the rows for the
table and another variable for the columns. Put the
number of data points that fit both row and column
criteria in each slot in the table. On the bottom and
right edges of the table, sum up each column and
row.

They are all equal to 1.
c. Sample answer: Because all the expression in
part (b) simplify to 1, you can equate the powers
in the last column of the table in part (a) to 1. So,
based on these results, you can conclude that
0
1, a = where 0. a
2. a.
b. Sample answer: yes; Each product is equal to the
value of the number with the nonzero exponent.
This implies that the numbers with the zero
exponents are equal to 1. So, based on these
results, you can conclude that
0
1, a = where
0. a
3. a.
b. They are all equal to 1.
c. From the Multiplicative Inverse Property, you
know that the product of a number and the
reciprocal is 1.
d. Sample answer: Because each product is equal 1,
you can conclude that the numbers in the product
are reciprocals. So,

frequently in the science fields. Scientific notation
is important because it provides a convenient way
to express numbers that are very large and very
small.

3. Sample answer: Let 1 inch represent 100,000,000
miles. Then the distances from the Sun will be:
Mercury: 0.36 in., Venus: 0.67 in., Earth: 0.93 in.,
Mars: 1.4 in., Jupiter: 4.8 in., Saturn: 8.9 in.,
Uranus: 18 in., and Neptune: 28 in.
Check scale drawings.
4. Sample answer: Move the decimal point left or
right so the number is at least 1 but less than 10.
Then multiply by ten raised to the number of times
you moved the decimal. If you moved the decimal
point to the left, the exponent will be positive. If
you moved the decimal point to the right, the
exponent will be negative.

5. Sample answer: To add or subtract numbers written
in scientific notation, add or subtract the factors
when the powers of 10 are the same. When the
powers of 10 are different, first use properties of
exponents to rewrite the numbers so the powers are
the same.
To multiply or divide numbers written in scientific
notation, use the properties of multiplication to
rewrite the expressions, then use the Product of
Powers Property and the Quotient of Powers
Property to simplify.
