Question

Caleb needs $120 to pay for tickets to an amusement park. He has $75 already and saves $5 a week. Use the Segment tool to plot a graph representing the amount of money Caleb has saved from the time he begins saving until he has saved enough for the tickets.

Answer 1

Given: Caleb needs $120 to pay for tickets to an amusement park. He has $75 already and saves $5 a week.

He needs 120-75 = $45 for tickets

$5 a week means he will have enough in 45/5 = 9 weeks.

The above can be plotted as a straight line segment in a graph.

Answer 2

Use your segment tool to draw a line between (0,75) and (9,120)
