Teams A and B are playing a game in a gym by tossing beanbags. Tape is placed on the gym floor to mark off the areas in which the teams can score points, as shown in the diagram.

Rectangle A Rectangle B Image An image is shown, but there is no alternative text.

Rectangle A represents the area in which Team A can score points. Rectangle B represents the area in which Team B can score points. The place where both rectanges overlap is the area in which both teams can score points.

  • The area of Rectangle A is 10.5 square meters.
  • The area of Rectangle B is 8.4 square meters.
  • The area of the overlap of Rectangles A and B is fraction with numerator of 3 and denominator of 25 the area of Rectangle A.

What is the total area, in square meters, of the gym floor that is marked off by tape? Show all your work.

The graph shows the distance a car is driven for each gallon of gas used.

Amount of Gas Used (gallons) Distance Driven (miles) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 x y Distance vs. Gas Usage Image A line graph is titled distance vs. gas usage. The x axis is labeled amount of gas used in gallons and ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 1, and the y axis is labeled distance driven in miles and ranges from 0 to 120 in increments of 10. A line goes from 0, 0 to an arrow at 6, 120. Points are plotted on the line at 1, 20, at 2, 40, and at 3, 60.
  • Does the graph represent a proportional relationship? Explain your answer.

Part A

Consider the graph shown.

A line graph has x axis ranging from 0 to 22 in increments of 2 and a y axis ranging from 0 to 440 in increments of 40. A line goes from 0, 0, through the point 2, 120, through the point 6, 360, and ends with an arrow at between 6 and 8, 440.

Find the constant of proportionality of the graph.

Show your work or explain your answer.

Enter your answer and your work or explanation in the space provided.

Part B

The original graph is changed by moving the graph up 40 units, as shown.

A line graph has x axis ranging from 0 to 22 in increments of 2 and a y axis ranging from 0 to 440 in increments of 40. A line goes from 0, 40, through the point 2, 160, through the point 6, 400, and ends with an arrow at a little more than 6, 440.

A student uses the point ordered pair 4, 280 to write the equation y equals 70 x. The student claims that this equation represents the relationship shown in the new graph because 280 divided by 4 is 70.

  • Explain the error in the student's reasoning.
  • Use a different point from the graph to explain why the student's equation does not represent the relationship shown in the new graph.
