Question

Kevin works at a restaurant. He stacks glasses as shown. Let x be the number of glasses and f(x) be the height of the stack. If 5.5 inch glasses with 1.2 inch lips are stacked vertically, which table correctly models this situation?

Answer 1

The table that correctly models the linear equation is table A.

Which table correctly models this situation?

The first glass added will have a height of 5.5 inches, and then for each glass that we add, we are adding a height of 1.2 inches.

• This means that the first value on the table must be 5.5 in.
• The second value must be 5.5 in + 1.2in = 6.7 in.
• The third value must be: 6.7in + 1.2in = 7.9 in

And so on, so we have the linear relation:

y = 5.5in + x*1.2in

Where x is the number of glasses in the tower.

Then the table that correctly models this situation is table A.
