UnitIII_Assignment_LinearNutrients

Unit III Assignment: Linear Nutrients In this assignment, you will be asked to find a linear equation based on the nutritional information of food served at a restaurant. You will analyze the equation as it relates to the variables and transformations presented in the activity. Instructions: Complete the steps outlined below, and answer parts A-G. Save all of your work to this template and submit it in Blackboard for grading. A. Use the four items you selected above to complete the chart. Menu Item Total Fat ( x – variable ) Calories ( y − variable ) (Total Fat, Calories) ( x , y ) Breakfast on a Bun w/ Sausage 31 520 31,520 Grilled Chicken Sandwich 13 430 13,430 Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich 39 870 39,870 Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit 33 560 33,560 B. Based on the ordered pairs you selected, is the relation a function? Why or why not? Yes, because every X value is associated with one Y value C. Calculate the slope between the two outer most points. Round your answer to four decimal places. Show each step of your work. A template is listed below to assist you. Replace the “?” with the appropriate numbers. STEP 1: Follow the directions below to create your data set, or click here to watch a video on how to create your data set. Click here for the transcript of this video.  Go to http://menustat.org/#/home .  Select one food category, one restaurant, and the most recent year from the drop-down menus on the screen. Make sure that the restaurant you selected has menu items in the food category you selected.  In the “Nutrients” menu, select “Calories” and “Total Fat.”  Press “Search.”  Select four items from the chart. If you do not have at least four items in your chart, select a different restaurant or food category and create a new chart. You should have at least two different ordered pairs in your data set. If all four of the ordered pairs are the same, please select different food items. STEP 2: Identify the two outer most points. List the corresponding ordered pairs below: o Point One - What ordered pair has the smallest x-value? ( x 1 , y 1 ) = ( 13 , 430 ) o Point Two - What ordered pair has the largest x-value? ( x 2 , y 2 ) = ( 39 , 870 )
