1-->Set 69 (odds) - Due by the end of class TODAY!
... So you don't have an
assignment over Break!!

2. Lesson 69 Warm-Up:
1) Solve and graph: 3x - 2 > 4
2) Solve: [show all steps for credit] 3/5x + 7/10 = 19/10
3) The price of the painting increased by 90% after the artist became
famous. If the new price is $2470, what was the original price?
4) Use a unit multiplier to convert 100 meters in 50 seconds to meters
per minute.
5) Write 8/9 as a percent.

3. Lesson 69:
*constant of proportionality – the number that relates 2
variables in a direct variation
*direct variation – a proportional relationship between 2
variables in which one variable is a constant multiple of the
other, that is, the quotient of the 2 variables is a constant
3

4. *dependent variable - the variable in an equation whose value is
determined by the value chosen for one or more of the other
variables
*independent variable - a variable in an equation whose value
can be freely chosen

5. How to tell if a function is an example of direct variation:
--the graph intersects the origin
--the function is linear (forms a line)

6. Lesson 69 Examples:
pg. 467
A) p = 3s
c. of p. = 3

7. B) No - not proportional
Not direct variation - Sergio's age isn't a constant multiple of
Fernando's.
C) 20 gallons 30 gallons C. of P. =
166 pounds X 166 pounds
20 gallons
p = 8.3g
