5.2: Stacking Cups
1

We have two stacks of styrofoam cups.
  • One stack has 6 cups, and its height is 15 cm.
  • The other stack has 12 cups, and its height is 23 cm.
How many cups are needed for a stack with a height of 50 cm?

5.3: Connecting Slope to Rate of Change
Create a graph of how to determine the number of cups needed to be stacked to reach 50cm.
1

Create your graph.

What are some ways you can tell that the number of cups is not proportional to the height of the stack?

1

What is the slope of the line in your graph? What does the slope mean in this situation?

1

At what point does your line intersect the vertical axis? What do the coordinates of this point tell you about the cups?
