This is just a check-in on how well you're understanding the horizontal and linear patterns so far. Please do your best to answer the following questions and don't leave anything blank. You've got this!

Use the following information for questions 1 through 4.

Two groups of students rolled two marbles on the ground and measured distance and time, as shown in the diagram below. Each group used a chair at a different height for their starting ramps.

0.5

The students collected distance and time data for the marbles and graphed it. Their graph with their mathematical models are shown below.

What is the pattern shown by this data?

0.5

Use the graph or the mathematical model to predict the distance that the red marble will travel when it rolls for 1.5 seconds.

0.5

Use the mathematical model to predict the distance that the red marble will travel when it rolls for 5.0 seconds.

0.5

How much confidence do you have in your prediction for #3 above? Use the confidence rubric below to help you.

Use the information below for questions 5-8.

The data below was taken from a couple of students doing research to answer the question: “Is there a pattern between the distance of store and the price of milk?”


0.5

What is the pattern shown in the price of milk vs distance graph above?

0.5

What is the mathematical model for the price of milk? (The graph has been shown below again to make it easier to see.)


0.5

Predict: If a store is 10 miles from your house, what will the price of a gallon of milk be?


0.5

Does the pattern for the price of milk vs. the store's distance from your house make sense to you? Explain your reasoning.
