Question 14.
Mike is on his way to school. The table below shows how far he has traveled and how long he has been traveling.
Spectrum Math Grade 8 Chapters 1-6 Final Test Answer Key 2
Answer:
Variable.

Explanation:
The rate of change in the time travelled divided by the rate of change in the distance travelled.
m = \(\frac{The time travelled}{The distance travelled}\)
m = \(\frac{12 – 10}{0.75 – 0.5}\)
m = \(\frac{2}{0.25}\)
m = 80 miles
m = \(\frac{The time travelled}{The distance travelled}\)
m = \(\frac{25 – 15}{1 – 0.75}\)
m = \(\frac{10}{0.25}\)
m = 40 miles

Question 19.
a.
y = –\(\frac{1}{2} x\) + 18
y = -x + 20
x = ___, y = ____
Answer:
x = 4, y = 16

Explanation:
Substitute the value of y in the given equation,
y = -x + 20
–\(\frac{1}{2} x\) + 18 = -x + 20
–\(\frac{1}{2} x\) = -x + 20 – 18
–\(\frac{1}{2} x\) = -x + 2
x = 2 + 2
x = 4
Substitute the value of y in the given equation,
y = -x + 20
y = -4 + 20
y = 16
So, the values of x = 4 and y = 16

y = x – 11
4x + \(\frac{4}{5} y\) = 68
20x + 4y = 340
20x + 4(x-11) = 340
20x + 4x – 44 = 340
24x = 384
x = 16
y = x – 11
y = 16 – 11
y = 5
c.
-8x + 2y = -48
6x – 2y = 28
x = _____, y = ______
Answer:
x = 10, y = 16

Explanation:
-8x + 2y = -48
6x – 2y = 28
divide the equation by 2 on both side as shown below
6x – 2y = 28
3x – y = 14
y = 3x – 14
-8x + 2y = -48
-8x + 2(3x – 14) = -48
-8x + 6x – 28 = -48
-2x = -20
x = 10
substitute the value of x in below equation for value y
y = 3x – 14
y = 3(10) – 14
y = 30 – 14
y = 16

y = \(\frac{1}{15}\)× – 4
y = \(\frac{1}{15}\) x 45 – 4 = \(\frac{45}{15}\) – 4 = 3 – 4 = -1
y = \(\frac{1}{15}\) x 90 – 4 = \(\frac{90}{15}\) – 4 = 6 – 4 = 2
y = \(\frac{1}{15}\) x 105 – 4 = \(\frac{105}{15}\) – 4 = 7 – 4 = 3
y = \(\frac{1}{15}\) x 165 – 4 = \(\frac{165}{15}\) – 4 = 11 – 4 = 7
y = \(\frac{1}{15}\) x 225 – 4 = \(\frac{225}{15}\) – 4 = 15- 4 = 11

Function model:
y = _____
Answer:
y = \(\frac{3}{2}\)x + 5

Explanation:
The rate of change (or slope), and plugging known values into the equation,
y = mx + b.
Step 1: Calculate the rate of change.
\(\frac{14-8}{6-2}\)
= \(\frac{6}{4}\)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Step 2: Substitute known values of x and y into the slope-intercept form of the equation.
y = mx + b
(8) = \(\frac{3}{2}\) (2) + b
Step 3: Solve to find the initial value of the output variable (b).
b = 8 – 3
b = 5
Step 4: Write the equation using the found values of m and b.
y = mx + b
y = \(\frac{3}{2}\)x + 5

Function model:
y = _____
Answer:
y = \(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 5

Explanation:
Step 1: Find and name two points on (3, 6) and (-3, 4) the line.
Step 2: Calculate the rate of change.
\(\frac{4 – 6}{-3- 3}\)
= –\(\frac{2}{6}\)
= –\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Step 3: Use the found points and calculated slope to find the initial value of the output if it cannot be determined based on the graph.
Based on the graph, the initial value of the output variable for a value (x, y)
Step 4: Write the formula for all values of x and y using the equation.
y = mx + b
y = –\(\frac{1}{3}\) + b
for x = 0
y = 5
5 = –\(\frac{1}{3}\) 0 + b
b = 5
y = mx + b
y = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 5
