Unit 5 Relations Assignment – Your Story
After spending the unit learning about patterns and how they relate to linear relations, it’s time for you
to show you know what to do!
Story
What is the story you will be telling? You can pick any topic you wish, as long as the story is about linear
increasing or decreasing for something in real life.

Table of Values
Now that you have your story, complete the table of values. Note: You may need to find the first differences!
Position Number (x)
1
Number of items in Pattern (y)
First Differences
Equation
Now that you have a table of values and a story, you should be able to make an equation. Remember that the
equation looks like 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐, and is made up of the rate of change and a constant. The rate of change goes in
for the letter m (since it’s the multiplier) and the constant goes in for the c.
Graph
Finally, you can graph everything! Use the information you’ve
gathered from the previous parts, and make a graph. Include
all labels and draw your line of best fit.
Note: If you prefer, you can use Excel to draw your graph. Save
your graph, and let the teacher know that you wish to use (or
already used) Excel. Your graph will be printed.
