walk in t seconds.



2. [2 points] Mark walks 40 meters in 15 seconds and Matthew walks 30
meters in 10 seconds. Whose walking rate is faster?







3. [2 points] True/False?

A linear relationship is a relationship in which there is a constant rate of
change between two variables.



4. [2 points] The distance Amy travels in t hours is represented by the
equation d = 7.5t. At what rate does Amy travel? (*Note: use m/s as
your unit of measure)




5. [4 points] Jacob is in a walking race at his school. In the first 20
seconds, he walks 60 meters. In the next 30 seconds, he walks 60
meters. In the next 10 seconds, he walks 35 meters. In the last 40
seconds, he walks 80 meters.

(a.) Describe how Jacobs walking rate changes during the
race. Is his walking rate constant throughout the entire race?





(b.) What would a graph of Jacobs walking race look like?

6. [5 points] In his schools walkathon, Keith decides to charge his
patrons $10 for the first 5 kilometers he walks and $1 per kilometer after
5 kilometers. Sketch a graph that represents the relationship between
money collected and kilometers walked.













7. [2 points] True/False
