Spectrum Math Grade 8 Chapter 4 Lesson 4.8 Analyzing Function Graphs Answers Key
Models of real-life situations can be drawn on non-specific graphs—or ones without titles or labeled x and y axes—in order to see the relationship between two variables that are being examined along different points.
Situation:
Mike rides a bike to Sam’s house. When he arrives, he and Sam wait for Sam’s mom who then drives them to the bus stop. Sam and Mike wait for the bus, and then get on the bus, which then takes them to school.
Relationships:
Mike travels at a constant rate to Sam’s house (A).
Mike and Sam do not travel while they wait for Sam’s mom to drive them to the bus stop (B).
Sam’s mom takes Mike and Sam to the bus stop (C).
Mike and Sam do not travel while they are waiting at the bus stop (D).
Mike and Sam appear to travel at the same constant rate both in the car and on the bus (E).
Use the situation and graph to describe 3 relationships that exist in each function.
