Step 1 Before you begin Chapter 4

• Read each statement.

• Decide whether you Agree (A) or Disagree (D) with the statement.
• Write A or D in the first column OR if you are not sure whether you agree or
disagree, write NS (Not Sure).

STEP 1 STEP 2
Statement
A, D, or NS A or D
1. The slope of a line given by an equation in the form y = mx + b
can be determined by looking at the equation.
2. The y-intercept of y = 12x - 8 is 8.
3. If two points on a line are known, then an equation can be
written for that line.
4. An equation in the form y = mx + b is in point-slope form.
5. If a pair of lines are parallel, then they have the same slope.
6. Lines that intersect at right angles are called perpendicular
lines.
7. A scatter plot is said to have a negative correlation when the
points are random and show no relationship between x and y.
8. The closer the correlation coefficient is to zero, the more closely

a best-fit line models a set of data.

9. The equations of a regression line and a median-fit line are
very similar.
10. An inverse relation is obtained by exchanging the x-coordinates
with the y-coordinates of each ordered pair of the original
relation.

Step 2 After you complete Chapter 4

• Reread each statement and complete the last column by entering an A or a D.

• Did any of your opinions about the statements change from the first column?
• For those statements that you mark with a D, use a piece of paper to write an
example of why you disagree.

Using Equations: Ideal Weight

You can find your ideal weight as follows.
A woman should weigh 100 pounds for the first 5 feet of height and
5 additional pounds for each inch over 5 feet (5 feet = 60 inches).
A man should weigh 106 pounds for the first 5 feet of height and
6 additional pounds for each inch over 5 feet. These formulas apply to
people with normal bone structures.
To determine your bone structure, wrap your thumb and index finger
around the wrist of your other hand. If the thumb and finger just touch,
you have normal bone structure. If they overlap, you are small-boned.
If they don’t overlap, you are large-boned. Small-boned people should decrease their
calculated ideal weight by 10%. Large-boned people should increase the value by 10%.

Calculate the ideal weights of these people.

1. woman, 5 ft 4 in., normal-boned 2. man, 5 ft 11 in., large-boned

3. man, 6 ft 5 in., small-boned 4. you, if you are at least 5 ft tall

For Exercises 5–9, use the following information.

Suppose a normal-boned man is x inches tall. If he is at least 5 feet
tall, then x - 60 represents the number of inches this man is over

Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

5 feet tall. For each of these inches, his ideal weight is increased by
6 pounds. Thus, his proper weight y is given by the formula
y = 6(x - 60) + 106 or y = 6x - 254. If the man is large-boned, the
formula becomes y = 6x - 254 + 0.10(6x - 254).

5. Write the formula for the weight of a large-boned man

in slope-intercept form.

6. Derive the formula for the ideal weight y of a normal-boned

female with height x inches. Write the formula in
slope-intercept form.

7. Derive the formula in slope-intercept form for the ideal weight y

of a large-boned female with height x inches.

8. Derive the formula in slope-intercept form for the ideal weight y

of a small-boned male with height x inches.

9. Find the heights at which the ideal weights of normal-boned males

and large-boned females would be the same.

Tangent to a Curve
A tangent line is a line that intersects a curve at a point with the same rate of change, or
slope, as the rate of change of the curve at that point.
For quadratic functions, functions of the form y = ax2 + bx + c, equations of the tangent lines
can be found. This is based on the fact that the slope through any two points on the curve
is equal to the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point whose x-value is halfway
between the x-values of the other two points.

Example Find an equation of the line tangent to the y

curve y = x2 + 3x + 2 through the point (2, 12).

First find two points on the curve whose x-values are

equidistant from the x-value of (2, 12).

Step 1: Find two points on the curve. Use x = 1 and x = 3.

O x
When x = 1, y = 12 + 3(1) + 2 or 6.
When x = 3, y = 32 + 3(3) + 2 or 20.
So, the two ordered pairs are (1, 6) and (3, 20).

Step 2: Find the slope of the line that passes through these two points.
20 - 6
m=− or 7

Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Step 3: Now use this slope and the point (2, 12) to find an equation of the tangent line.
y = mx + b Slope-intercept form

12 = 7(2) + b Replace x with 2, y with 12, and m with 7.

-2 = b Solve for b.

So, an equation of the tangent line to y = x2 + 3x + 2 through the point (2, 12) is y = 7x – 2.

increases, there is a positive correlation between x and y. If y decreases as x increases,
there is a negative correlation between x and y. If x and y are not related, there is no
correlation.

Let x represent the number of years since 2000 and let y represent the
number of metric tons of gold. Then predict the number of ounces of
gold produced in 2013.
Step 1 Use Column A for the years since 2000 and Column B for the number of metric
tons of gold. To create a graph from the data, select the data in Columns A and B
and choose Chart from the Insert menu. Select an XY (Scatter) chart to show the
data points.
Step 2 Add a trendline to the graph by choosing the Chart menu. Add a linear
trendline. Use the options menu to have the trendline forecast 5 years forward.
Using this trendline, it appears that the gold production for 2013 will be
approximately 150 metric tons.

Regression and Median-Fit Lines
Equations of Median-Fit Lines A graphing calculator can also find another type of
best-fit line called the median-fit line, which is found using the medians of the coordinates
of the data points.

Example ELECTIONS The table shows the total number of people in millions
who voted in the U.S. Presidential election in the given years.
Year 1980 1984 1988 1992 1996 2004 2008
Voters 86.5 92.7 91.6 104.4 96.3 122.3 131.3

a. Find an equation for the median-fit line. Enter the data by

pressing STAT and selecting the Edit option. Let the year 1980
be represented by 0. Enter the years since 1980 into List 1 (L1).
Enter the number of voters into List 2 (L2).
Then, press STAT and select the CALC option. Scroll down to
Med-Med option and press ENTER . The value of a is the slope,
and the value of b is the y-intercept.
The equation for the median-fit line is y = 1.55x + 83.57.
b. Estimate the number of people who voted in the 2000 U.S.
Presidential election. Graph the best-fit line. Then use the
TRACE feature and the arrow keys until you find a point
where x = 20.

Quadratic Regression Parabolas
For some sets of data, a linear equation in the form y = ax + b does not adequately describe
the relationship between data points. The “QuadReg” function on a graphing calculator
will output an equation in the form y = ax2 + bx + c. The value of R2, the coefficient of
determination tells you how closely the parabola fits the data.

Example The table shows the population of Atlanta in various years.

Year 1970 1980 1990 2000 2005 2007

Population 497,000 425,000 394,017 416,474 470,688 498,109
Source: U.S. Census Bureau

a. Find the equation of a quadratic-regression parabola for the data.

Running a linear regression on the data provides an r value of 0.03, which indicates a
poor fit. The data appears to be a good candidate for a quadratic regression.
Step 1 Enter the data by pressing STAT and selecting the Edit
option. Enter the years since 1970 as your x-values (L1)
and enter the population figures as your y-values (L2).
Step 2 Perform the quadratic regression by pressing STAT and
selecting the CALC option. Scroll down to QuadReg and
press ENTER .
Step 3 Write the equation of the best-fit parabola by rounding the
a, b, and c values on the screen.

Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

The equation for the best-fit parabola is
y = 302.8x2 – 11,480x + 501,227.
b. Find the coefficient of determination.
The coefficient of determination for the parabola is R2 = 0.969,
which indicates a good fit.
c. Use the quadratic-regression parabola to predict the population in 2010.
Graph the best-fit parabola. Then use the TRACE feature and
the arrow keys until you find a point where x = 40.
When x ≈ 40, y ≈ 525,000. The estimated population will be 525,000.

In a function, there is exactly one output for every input. In other words, every element in
the domain pairs with exactly one element in the range. When a function is one-to-one,
each element of the domain pairs with exactly one unique element in the range. When a
function is onto, each element of the range corresponds to an element in the domain.

4 Rubric for Scoring Extended Response Test

General Scoring Guidelines

• If a student gives only a correct numerical answer to a problem but does not show how
he or she arrived at the answer, the student will be awarded only 1 credit. All extended
response questions require the student to show work.
• A fully correct answer for a multiple-part question requires correct responses for all
parts of the question. For example, if a question has three parts, the correct response to
one or two parts of the question that required work to be shown is not considered a fully
correct response.
• Students who use trial and error to solve a problem must show their method. Merely
showing that the answer checks or is correct is not considered a complete response for
full credit.
