When distinct points are plotted as above
the graph is called a scatter plot – ‘points
that are scattered about’
A point in the x/y coordinate plane is
described by an ordered pair of
coordinates (x, y)
Graphs represent trends in data.
For example:
x – number of years in business
y – thousands of dollars of profit
Equation : y = ½ x – 3

Symmetry in Graphing
Y-Axis Symmetry  even functions f (-x) = f (x)
For every point (x,y), the point (-x, y) is also on the graph.
Test for symmetry: Replace x by –x in equation. Check for equivalent equation.
Origin Symmetry  odd functions f (-x) = -f (x)
For every point (x, y), the point (-x, -y) is also on the graph.
Test for symmetry: Replace x by –x , y by –y in equation. Check for equivalent equation.
X-Axis Symmetry

Intercepts:
No intercepts exist
If y = 0, there is no solution for x.
If x = 0, y is undefined
The line x = 0 is called a vertical asymptote.
The line y = 0 is called a horizontal asymptote.
Symmetry:
y = 1/-x => No y-axis symmetry
-y = 1/-x => y = 1/x => origin symmetry
-y = 1/x => y = -1/x => no x-axis symmetry
Application: Solar Energy
• The solar electric generating systems at Kramer Junction, California,
use parabolic troughs to heat a heat-transfer fluid to a high
temperature. This fluid is used to generate steam that drives a power
conversion system to produce electricity. For troughs, 7.5 feet wide, an
equation for the cross-section is: 16y2 = 120x – 225
• (a) Find the intercepts of the graph of the equation
• (b) Test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, and origin
Application: Cigarette Use
A study by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America indicated that, in 1998,
42% of teens in grades 7 through 12 had recently used cigarettes. A similar
study in 2005 indicated that 22% of such teens had recently used cigarettes.
(a) Write a linear equation that relates the percent of teens y to the number of
years after 1998, x.
(a) Find the intercepts of the graph of your equation.
(b) Do the intercepts have any meaningful interpretation?
(c) Use your equation to predict the percent for the year 2019. Is this result
reasonable?
2.5 Proportions & Variation
Proportion equality of 2 ratios. Proportions are used to solve problems in everyday life.
1.

person earn in 5 days?
100

(x)(1) = (100)(5)
= 5

x = 500

(210)(x) = (420)(10)
(210)(x) = 4200
x = 4200 / 210 = 20 gallons

Direct Variation
y = kx
y is directly proportional to x.
y varies directly with x
k is the constant of proportionality
Example:
y = 9x (9 is the constant of proportionality)
Let y = Your pay
Let x – Number of Hours worked
Your pay is directly proportional to the number of hours worked.
Example1:
Example 2:
Salary (L) varies directly as the number
of hours worked (H). Write an equation
that expresses this relationship.
Aaron earns $200 after working 15 hours.
Salary = k(Hours)
L
= kH
Find the constant of proportionality using
your equation in example1..
200 = k(15)
So, k = 200/15 = 13.33
Inverse Variation
y= k
x
y is inversely proportional to x
y varies inversely as x
Example:
y varies inversely with x.
If y = 5 when x = 4, find the
constant of proportionality (k)
5 = k
4
So, k = 20
Example: P. 199 #7 : F varies inversely with d2; F = 10 when d = 5
F = k/ d2
10 = k/52
10 = k/25
K = 250 => F = 250/ d2
Another Example (Inverse Variation)
y= k
x
y is inversely proportional to x
y varies inversely as x
P. 197: Example 2:
The maximum weight W that can be safely supported by a
2-inch by 4-inch piece of point varies inversely with its length L.
Experimenters indicate that the maximum weight that a 10 foot long 2 x 4
Piece of pine can support is 500 lbs. Write a general formula relating the
Maximum weight W that can be safely supported by a length of 25 feet.
W = k/L
So, 500 = k/10 => k = 5000
Thus, W = 5000/L
So, Maximum weight safely supported for Length of 25ft is: W = 5000/25 = 200 lbs.
Direct Variation with Power
y = kxn
y is directly proportional to the nth power of x
Example: Distance varies directly as the square of the time (t)
Distance = kt2
D = kt2
Joint Variation
y = kxp
• y varies jointly as x and p
Example: (Joint Variation)
y = kxp
• y varies jointly as x and p
P. 198 Example4:
The force F of the wind on a flat surface positioned at a right angle
To the direction of the wind varies jointly with the area A of the
Surface and the square of the speed v of the wind.
A wind of 30 miles per hour blowing on a window measuring 4 ft
By 5 ft has a force of 150 lbs.
What is the force on a window measuring 3 ft by 4 ft
caused by a wind of 50 mph?
F = kAv2
A = 4 x 5 = 20
v = 30
150 = k (20)(900)
150 = 18000k
K = 150/18000 = 1/120
F = (1/120)Av2 , so, when wind = 50mph on 3 x 4 (A = 12), F = (1/120)(12)(2500) = 250lbs
Example: Combined Variation
P. 199 S#13
The square of T varies directly with the cube of A and
Inversely with the square of D
T = 2 when A = 2 and D = 4.
Write a general formula to describe each variation
T2 = kA3
D2
Thus, T2 = 8A3

4 = k(8)

8k = 64  k = 8
