Candy The following data represent the weight (in grams) of various candy bars and the corresponding number of calories.

(a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data treating weight as the independent variable.
(b) What type of relationship appears to exist between the weight of a candy bar and the number of calories?
(c) Select two points and find a linear model that contains the points.
(d) Graph the line on the scatter diagram drawn in part (a).
(e) Use the linear model to predict the number of calories in a candy bar that weighs 62.3 grams.
(f) Interpret the slope of the line found in part (c).
Straight-line Depreciation Suppose that a company has just purchased a new machine for its manufacturing facility for \(120,000. The company chooses to depreciate the machine using the straight-line method over 10 years.
(a) Write a linear model that expresses the book valueV of the machine as a function of its age x.
(b) What is the implied domain of the function found in part (a)?
(c) Graph the linear function.
(d) What is the book value of the machine after 4 years?
(e) When will the machine have a book value of \)72,000?
Raisins The following data represent the weight (in grams) of a box of raisins and the number of raisins in the box.

(a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data treating weight as the independent variable.
(b) What type of relation appears to exist between the weight of a box of raisins and the number of raisins?
(c) Select two points and find a linear model that contains the points.
(d) Graph the line on the scatter diagram drawn in part (b).
(e) Use the linear model to predict the number of raisins in a box that weighs 42.5 grams.
(f) Interpret the slope of the line found in part (c).
If the slope m of the graph of a linear function is________, the function is increasing over its domain.
