Question

MATH (SLOPE Y=MX+B)

WORD PROBLEM

1 In the Heartland area, just south of highway 401, a developer has purchased a parcel of land and would like to build an outdoor go-kart track. The developer wants you to design a track with a simple geometrical shape A) On the grid below, draw a line (x. 5) and a line (y = 1) K-2 B) Draw these two lines on the grid below and determine the slopes of these lines Slope of line x =.5 Answer K-1 Slope of line y = 1 Answer K-1 2. Connect points A (-5, 6) and B (7.1) together. Calculate the slope of the line AB and state the equation of the Line AB in any form (slope and y intercept OR standard form) K-2 B 2 Scale: 2 squares = 1 unit A) The slope of the line AB (show all your work in space below) Answer K-4 B) The equation of the line AB is (use either slope & y-intercept OR standard form) Answer K-3 1 C) Using the grid, you need to find the point of intersection between the two lines (x = -5) and (y = 1) K-2 Answer D) Take the scale given on the grid and determine the height and base of the track by counting the units T-2 Answer (height) Answer (base) T-2 E) Once you have the height and base, find the length of the longest side Answer (longest side) T-4 F) Determine the perimeter of ONLY the track. T.3 Answer (Perimeter-track): G) Next the developer asks you to calculate the area of ONLY the track shape: Answer (Area of triangle) T-4 2
