d) Given a line containing the points (1,4), (2,7), and (3,10) determine the slope-intercept form of the equation, provide one additional point on this line, and graph the function.

Equation in Slope-Intercept Form:
Give one additional point in (x,y) form that would fall on this line:

2) In most businesses, increasing prices of products can negatively impact the number of customers. A bus company in a small town has an average number of riders of 800 per day. The bus company charges $2.25 for a ride. They conducted a survey of their customers and found that they will lose approximately 40 customers per day for each $.25 increase in fare.

a) Let the number of riders be a function of the fare charged. Graph the function, identify the graph of the function (line, parabola, hyperbola, or exponential), find the slope of the graph, find the price at which there will be no more riders, and the maximum number of riders possible.

Graph:
Graph Type:
What is the slope of the graph?

b) The bus company has determined that even if they set the price very low, there is a maximum number of riders permitted each day. If the price is $0 (free), how many riders are permitted each day?

c) If the bus company sets the price too high, no one will be willing to ride the bus. Beginning at what ticket price will no one be willing to ride the bus?

3) It is approximately 480 miles from Los Angeles, California, to San Francisco, California. Allowing for various traffic conditions, a driver can average approximately 60 miles per hour.
a) How far have you traveled after 3 hours?
b) How far have you traveled after 4 hours?
c) How far have you traveled after t hours (i.e., write a linear function that expresses the distance traveled, d, as a function of time, t).
d) How far will you HAVE LEFT to travel to reach San Francisco after you have traveled 3 hours?
e) How far will you HAVE LEFT to travel to reach San Francisco after you have traveled 4 hours?
f) How far will you HAVE LEFT to travel to reach San Francisco after you have traveled t hours (i.e., write a linear function that expresses the distance to be traveled to reach San Francisco, s, as a function of time, t).

2)
a) What is the slope of the graph?
It loses approximately 40 customers per day for each $.25 increase in fare, so the rate of change is the slope of the line:
-40/0.25=-160
Equation of line now is: y = -160x + b
A bus company in a small town has an average number of riders of y = 800 per day. The bus ...
