Explanations
1. Lawson uses one cup of vinegar for every two cups of cleaner he makes. First, find the volume of vinegar per cup of cleaner.

So, the graph that represents the amount of vinegar in his cleaner has a slope of . Therefore, graph Y represents the amount of vinegar in Lawson's cleaner. 2. The amount of revenue the salon will earn in one day for x haircuts can be represented by the following equation. y = $15.00x The slope of the line, $15.00, represents the cost per haircut. The y- intercept is 0. Since slope is the change in y over the change in x , the y-axis of the graph represents the revenue, and the x -axis represents the number of haircuts. The graph that represents this situation is graph W. 3. The top line is the line y = mx translated b units up from the x -axis. Therefore, the equation of the top line on the graph is y = mx + b. 4. The slope of the line between point J and point L is equal to the ratio of KL to JK. The slope of the line between point R and point T is equal to the ratio of ST to RS. Since the slope of the line between points J and L is equal to the slope of the line between points R and T, the ratio of KL to JK is equal to the ratio of ST to RS. Two right triangles are similar if the ratios of two sets of their corresponding sides are congruent. Therefore, triangle JKL is similar to triangle RST. 5. The unit rate, or slope, can be determined from two points on the graph. For example, the points (20, 400) and (60, 1,200) can be used to find the unit rate.

Therefore, the unit rate of the graph is $20 pe r foot. 6. To determine the rate of feet per hour, use two sets of coordinates from the line. Use the points (0, 0) and (2, 4). Divide the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x -coordinates to determine the rate.

Therefore, the rate is shown below.

7. Use two points from the graph to find the rainfall rate on Monday. The calculation shown below uses the points (0, 0) and (5, 6).

Therefore, the number of inches per hour, or rate of change, the rain fell on Monday is 1.2. Use two points from the table to find the rainfall rate on Tuesday. The calculation shown below uses the points (2, 1.6) and (3, 2.4).

Therefore, the number of inches per hour, or rate of change, the rain fell on Tuesday is 0.8. Thus, the rain fell at a faster rate on Monday .

8. The slope of a line is the change in y over the change in x . The values on the y-axis represent the number of cars. The values on the x -axis represent the time in minutes. Thus, the slope is the change in the number of cars over the change in time. Therefore, the slope represents cars per minute . 9. Use two points from the table to find the price per pound at Sam's Candy Shoppe. The calculation shown below uses the points (4, 10) and (5, 12.5).

Therefore, the price per pound, or rate of change, at Sam's Candy Shoppe is $2.50. Use two points from the graph to find the price per pound at Carmine's Candy. The calculation shown below uses the points (4, 9) and (8, 18).

Therefore, the price per pound, or rate of change, at Carmine's Candy is $2.25. Thus, Carmine's Candy has the cheaper price per pound. 10. Use the two given values, (2, 15.98) and (3, 23.97), to determine how much Candice will pay per pizza.

Therefore, the price per pizza, or rate of change, Candice will pay is $7.99. Use two points from the table to determine how much Peter will pay per pizza. The calculation shown below uses the points (6, 47.94) and (7, 55.93).

Therefore, the price per pizza, or rate of change, Brandon will pay is $7.99. Thus, Candice and Peter will pay the same price for the pizza .
