Does your scatter plot reflect your response whether this function is linear or not? Where does the intercept appear on your scatter plot? Do you think an intercept will always be in that position? Explain. What is f(5)? Explain the meaning of f(5). As a group, consider the following situation: Andy wants to drop weight for wrestling. He weighs 187 now, and plans to lose 1.5 lbs. per week. What is the intercept? Is this amount increasing or decreasing? How many pounds does the weight change every week? Write a sentence beginning with slope of this function is “The …”. Is this function linear? Explain. Write a function to describe the weight as time passes. Andy’s Find six pieces of data from this function. Draw a scatter plot. Use appropriate scale and spacing. Is the data discrete or continuous? Explain.
