  1. The Race

  2. 8.EE - Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations 5. Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.

  3. The Race Maggie and Emma race each other along a straight running track. Maggie starts some distance ahead of Emma. The graph below describes the race.

  4. 1. After 5 seconds, who is running the fastest? Explain your answer.

  5. 2. Emma’s line can be represented by the equation: s = 5t Where ‘s’ is the distance, in yards, from the starting point and ‘t’ is the time, in seconds, from the start of the race. What is the equation that represents Maggie’s line?

  6. 3. Describe what happens in the race.

  7. The diagram below shows the distance a runner is from the Starting Place and from the Finishing Line.

  8. 4. The following equation can also be used to describe Emma's race: f = -5t + 70 Where ‘f ‘ is the distance, in yards, from the Finishing Line, and ‘t’ is the time, in seconds, from the beginning of the race. a. Plot this line on the graph, explain how it is different from the first graph.

  9. b. Add a line to the graph that represents Maggie’s race. c. What is the equation of this second line? On this graph the distance is measured from the runner to the finish, not the start.

  10. b. Add a line to the graph that represents Maggie’s race. c. What is the equation of this second line? d. Why does Maggie’s line have a y intercept of 40 yards?
