Cool Down

Kiran is spending $12 on games and rides at another carnival, where a game costs $0.25 and a ride costs $1.

1.

Write an equation to represent the relationship between the dollar amount Kiran is spending and the number of games, xx, and the number of rides, yy, he could do.

2.

Which graph represents the relationship between the quantities in this situation?

A

Line graph showing a positive correlation between the number of games on the x-axis (0 to 18) and the number of rides on the y-axis (0 to 18), with the line increasing steadily.

B

A line graph with number of games on the x-axis and number of rides on the y-axis. The line starts at (0, 12) and drops steeply to (3, 0), then remains at zero.

C

A line graph showing number of rides on the y-axis and number of games on the x-axis. The line slopes downward from about 12 rides at 0 games to about 8 rides at 16 games.
3.

Explain how you know.
