Rory is staying in a cabin on a hill 300 feet above sea level. She walks down the hill to the water's edge. The equation of her average change in elevation over time is e = 300 - 10t, where t is the time in minutes since she left the cabin, and e is her elevation with regard to sea level. Which values are viable points, and what are their values in the table relating t and e?

a= not viable b=265 c=0

Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound. If x represents the number of pounds of peaches bought and y represents the total cost of the peaches, which best describes the values of x and y? The values of both x and y can be any real number. The values of both x and y will be real numbers greater than or equal to 0. The value of x can be any real number, but the value of y will always be a real number greater than or equal to 0. The value of x can be any real number greater than or equal to 0, but the value of y must be an integer greater than or equal to 0.

B. The values of both x and y will be real numbers greater than or equal to 0

Jeff hiked for 2 hours and traveled 5 miles. If he continues at the same pace, which equation will show the relationship between the time, t, in hours he hikes to distance, d, in miles? Will the graph be continuous or discrete? d = 0.4t, discrete d = 0.4t, continuous d = 2.5t, discrete d = 2.5t, continuous

D. d = 2.5t, continuous

A 28,000-gallon swimming pool is being drained using a pump that empties 700 gallons per hour. Which equation models this situation if g is the number of gallons remaining in the pool and t is the amount of time in hours the pool has been draining? 28,000 = -700t 28,000g = -700t g = 700t - 28,000 g = 28,000 - 700t

D. g = 28,000 - 700t
