2 Fitness Test 2 Score 1. A physical therapist randomly selected ten patients to complete two physical fitness tests. The patients scores on each test are shown in the scatterplot. 120 Test Scores Fitness Test 1 Score 100 Do the data best represent a linear or a nonlinear association? Use words, numbers, and/or symbols to explain your answer. Answer association Page 2

3 Is there a positive or a negative association represented between the two variables in the scatterplot? Use words, numbers, and/or symbols to explain your answer. Answer association Page 3

4 2. A rectangle with an area of 104 square inches has a width that is 5 inches less than its length. Write an equation representing the area of the rectangle. Use x to represent the length of the rectangle. Solve your equation for all values of x. Show All Work Use your solution to the equation to identify the width and length of the rectangle. Explain how you determined which value(s) of x to use. Show All Work Page 4

5 3. The coordinate grid shows the location of a school and a park. Point K represents the location of Kim s home, and point T represents the location of Tim s home. y T Park School x K What is the shortest distance between the school and the park on the grid? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a unit. Use words, numbers, and/or symbols to explain how you found your answer. Distance units Page 5

6 Tim claims that the distance from the school to the park is the same as the distance from Kim s home to Tim s home. Use words, numbers, and/or symbols to explain whether he is correct. Page 6

7 4. The table shows the price, P, for renting a car for d days from a car rental company. Number of Days d Price P 1 $115 2 $150 3 $185 4 $220 Construct a linear function that models the relationship between the price, P, and the number of days, d, for which the car is rented. Show the steps that are required in order to construct the model. Linear Function: Page 7

9 Cost (dollars) 5. A maid service charges a $20 travel fee plus an hourly rate to customers. The maid service costs $50 for 3 hours of work and $70 for 5 hours of work. These charges include the travel fee and hourly rate. Write a linear function to show how the cost (c) is related the number of hours worked (h). Show All Work Linear Function 120 Graph the linear function on the coordinate plane. 100 c Maid Service Costs Page 9 Time (hours) h

10 Part C Explain how to determine the cost for 8 hours of work by the maid service. Use words, numbers, and/or symbols to explain whether he is correct. Page 10

11 6. Jason is going to the Chicago Cubs baseball game tonight. He has $75 at most to spend which includes the price of the game ticket plus a certain number of hot dogs. Hot dogs at the stadium cost $6.50 each. The price of the ticket to get into the game is $45. What are the most hot dogs Jason can buy at the Chicago Cubs game? Define a variable Write an inequality Solve the inequality. Show all steps. Show All Work Number of hotdogs Page 11

12 7. You are running a concession stand at a fundraiser event. You are selling hot dogs and sodas. Each hot dog costs $1.50 and each soda costs $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total amount of $ You sold 87 hotdogs and sodas combined. You must report the number of hot dogs sold and the number of sodas sold to your teacher. How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold? Define the variables Use the variables in to write a system of equations. First Equation: Second Equation: Page 12

13 Part C How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold? Solve the system of equations from. Show All Work Number of Hot Dogs Sold Number of Sodas Sold Page 13
