Question

Which situation could be modeled by using a linear function

Answer 1

if the ice-cream is cheaper, I buy more pints... say the initial price of the ice-cream gallon(8 pints) is hmmm $10, then I'd buy 1 pint


`\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} \begin{array}{llll} price\ of\\ gallon \end{array}& \begin{array}{llll} pints\\ bought \end{array}\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 10&1\\ 9&2\\ 7&3\\ 6&4 \end{array}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} \textit{now if you graph that}\\ \textit{will give you a \underline{line}}\\ \textit{thus a \underline{line}ar function} \end{array}`
