A ride on a carousel costs $3 per person. Using at least six points, draw a scatter plot with the number of riders on the horizontal axis and the total cost on the vertical axis.

What are direct variation and indirect variation? What do the graphs look like for direct variation and indirect variation?
A direct variation is a relation between two variables that have a constant ratio. If one variable doubles, the other also doubles. Examples: ◦ Number of weeks until an event and number of days until the event ◦ Mass of an object and its weight (on Earth) ◦ Time interval and distance traveled (for constant velocity)
Graphs are always straight lines that pass through the origin, or part of such a line. Equations are always of the form
How is the graph from the warm-up different than the graph of ?
Domain: the possible x-values Range: the possible y-values
An indirect variation is a relation between two variables that have a constant product. If one variable doubles, the other is cut in half. Examples: ◦ The volume of a balloon and the pressure of the gas inside (at constant temperature). ◦ The length and width of a rectangle with an area of 80 square inches.
Graphs are hyperbolas centered at the origin, or part of such a hyperbola. Equations are always of the form

Use the point-plotting method to graph each of the following equations. Graph each one on a separate Cartesian plane.
What are the properties of the graphs of the functions from the warm-up?
With your partner, write a description of each graph from the warm-up. ◦ Quick description (5 words or less) Through which quadrant(s) does each graph pass? What are the x- and y-intercepts of each graph (if they exist)?

How does the absolute value graph change if y is the distance of x from 3 on the number line instead of the distance from zero? Hint: Look at part f of yesterday’s warm-up.
Pick up a packet. Silently read pages 1, 2, and the top of page 3. Have your homework out for Mr. Szwast to check.
With your partner, complete the graph match on the last 3 pages of the packet. Use the graphing calculator for each one. Switch who is using the calculator for each function.
