answers
What did we do last time 2.2
In investigation 2.2 we completed a table to
pizza prices for Howdy and Royal Pizza
What was the equation we came up with for
Howdy’s pizza?
Equation for Howdy’s Pizza: P=13n
How about for Royal Pizza?
Equation for Royal Pizza: P=12n
What does the 13 represent in the equation for Howdy’s pizza?
What does the 12 represent in the equation for Royal’s pizza?
Learning Target
I will be able to identify a unit rate in

• a table, or
• a graph.
Vocabulary
Constant of proportionality: The constant ratio
of two proportional quantities, x and y; usually
written as y = kx, where k is the constant of
proportionality. For example in the equation
y= ¾ x, the constant or proportionality is ¾. The
graph for this relationship is shown below.
Who can tell me the definition of
a unit rate?

Problem 2.3 A
5a. Every time the cost of oranges goes up by $1, the number of oranges increases by 5.
5b. C = .20n, this equation says that every time the number of oranges goes up by 1, the
cost goes up by $.20.
5c. $.20/1 orange
and
