Problem 2
The graph shows a linear relationship between x and y.
x represents the number of comic books Priya buys at the store, all at the same price, and y represents the amount of money (in dollars) Priya has after buying the comic books.
- Find and interpret the x- and y-intercepts of this
line.
- Find and interpret the slope of this line.
- Find an equation for this line.

Problem 4
A container of fuel dispenses fuel at the rate of 5 gallons per second. If y represents the amount of fuel remaining in the container, and x represents the number of seconds that have passed since the fuel started dispensing, then x and y satisfy a linear relationship.
In the coordinate plane, will the slope of the line representing that relationship have a positive, negative, or zero slope? Explain how you know.
