1. Do Now: 1/28/13 James earns a daily salary of $115, plus a monthly bonus of $100. Alan is paid according to the equation y = 110x +125, where y is the amount of monthly pay for x days worked. Create an equation for James’ monthly income. Compare and contrast the slopes and y-intercepts from both James and Alan’s equations. Who has the greater rate of change?

2. Do Now: 1/29/13 Jeremy graphs a line. Points on Jeremy’s line include (5, 7), (4, 5), (2, 1), (0, –3), and (–2, –7). What is the equation of Jeremy’s line? A.y = –2x – 3 B.y = –x + 2 C.y = 2x – 3 D.y = x – 2

3. Do Now: 1/30/13 Bailey sells cotton candy at festivals in the summer. She sells 2 bags of cotton candy for $2.50, 3 bags for $3.75, and 4 bags for $5.00. Bailey tells her math teacher that the function c = n + 1.25 can be used to represent the cost of bags of cotton candy, where c is the cost and n is the number of bags of candy. Does the relationship between the prices for cotton candy and number of bags sold at each price represent a linear function? Explain your answer. Is the function that Bailey wrote correct? If it is, explain why it is correct. If it is not correct, write and explain a correct function.

4. Do Now: 1/31/13 Jana said that in each situation described below the data would represent a linear function. For each situation, determine whether she is correct or not and explain your reasoning. A.) The number of tickets ordered versus the total cost if all the tickets were the same price and there was one handling fee for the entire order B.) A child’s age versus the child’s height C.) The number of minutes that a car is left in a parking garage versus the parking fee if it cost $1 per hour or a fraction of an hour to park there D.) The number of objects, each weighing the same, that are placed one by one on a scale versus the weight registered on a scale

5. Do Now: 2/1/13 Sarah says that a linear equation contains the points (4, 5), (–3, 5), and (5, 0). Which statement is true? A.Sarah is correct because all three points lie on the same line. B.Sarah is incorrect because all three points do not lie on the same line. C.Sarah is correct because all three points contain 5 as one of the coordinates. D.Sarah is incorrect because all three points do not have the same x-coordinate.
