On the coordinate plane, mark the point that represents this situation and label the point with its coordinates.[br][br]2. What’s the [color=#1155cc]number of games[/color] the student could play if they don’t get on any rides? On the coordinate plane, mark the point that represents this situation and label the point with its coordinates.[br][br]3. Draw a line to connect the two points you’ve drawn.[br][br]4. Complete the sentences: [br][br]“If the student played no games, they can get on ______ rides." [br]"For every additional game that the student plays, x, the possible number of rides, y, (increases or decreases) by ______.”
5. What is the slope of your graph? Where does the graph intersect the vertical axis?[br][br]6. Rearrange the equation to solve for y.[br][br]7. What connections, if any, do you notice between your new equation and the graph?
