Math Clip Art--Applications of Linear Functions--Business Model 7

Topic

Linear Functions

Description

This math clip art continues the series on applications of linear functions in business modeling. The image presents a graph and poses a question about determining the number of t-shirts produced given a total monthly expenditure of $5000. This scenario demonstrates how linear models can be used to solve for unknown variables.

Visual aids like this are invaluable in mathematics education, particularly when teaching linear functions. They provide concrete examples of how mathematical models can be applied to solve real-world problems. By incorporating such images into lessons, teachers can help students understand the practical applications of linear functions and how to interpret and manipulate these models.

Teacher's Script: Let's examine this graph, class. We're given a total monthly cost and asked to find the number of t-shirts produced. How can we use our linear model to solve this problem? Think about what each axis represents and how we can use the equation to find our answer. What does this tell us about the versatility of our linear model?
