Reading values off graphs Unit 12.1 Completing a table of values by Dependent variable reading values from a graph • A graph shows a number pattern by giving the input numbers on one axis and the output numbers on the other axis. • The shape of the graph shows how the numbers change in relation to each other. • We usually put the independent Vertical axis variable on the horizontal axis, and the dependent variable on the vertical axis. Independent variable Horizontal axis Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 4
Reading numbers from a graph Unit 12.1 Point A shows R900 for 5 • Look at the numbers on the hours worked. graph and the number of values in between each mark. • The vertical axis in this graph shows R150 between each mark. • Hold a ruler from each point vertically to read the input number on the axis at the bottom. • Hold a ruler horizontally from each point to read the output number on the axis on the left. R150 – 0 = R150 Point B shows R450 for 2½ hours worked. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 4
Example 12.1 page 233 Unit 12.1 Look at the graph showing the entry fee for students on a trip to the zoo. a) Draw up a table of values showing the points plotted on this graph. b) What is the flat fee per group of students accompanied by their lecturer? Explain how you know this. c) What is the cost per student? Explain. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 4
Example 12.1 page 233 Unit 12.1 d) Is this is a constant difference or a constant ratio pattern? Explain, e) Derive a formula for this relationship. Let n be the number of students and c be the cost. f) Is this relationship a direct proportion? Explain. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 4
Example 12.1 page 233 Unit 12.1 a) Table of the pattern: Number of students n 0 20 40 60 80 100 Entry fee (R) 50 150 250 350 450 550 b) The flat fee is R50, because there is a charge of R50 for 0 students. c) The cost for 20 students is R150 – R50 = R100, so the cost per student is R100 ÷ 20 = R5. d) It is a constant difference or linear pattern, because the entry fee increases by R5 for each student that is added. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 4
Example 12.1 page 233 Unit 12.1 e) The difference between the values where n increases by 1 is R5, so the formula will contain 5n. The flat fee or constant value is R50. So the formula is c = 50 + 5n. f) This is not a direct proportion, for example 40 student : 20 student is not equal to R250 : R150. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 4

Plotting graphs of linear relationships Unit 12.2 We can use a written description of a pattern to draw up a table of values, find the formula and draw a graph of the pattern. Choosing an appropriate scale Draw axes to fill the space on the page. This makes the graph more 1 accurate and easier to read. Then use the costs per unit area or per item to calculate the total 2 cost. The highest value on your axes must be higher than the highest 3 values of the variables, usually rounded up to a whole 10. Choose intervals between the marks on your axes that will work 4 well with the values you need to plot. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 4
Plotting graphs of linear relationships Unit 12.2 Example • To plot values such as 142, 156 and 178, choose intervals of 10 units apart from 140 to 180. • Choose to increase in multiples of 5 or 10, even when the values to plot are not multiples of 10.

Using formulae to determine values of variables using substitution Unit 12.5 • In formulae, letters such as x and y, or any letters, are used to represent values which are unknown. They can be used in equations or expressions to help solve problems. • The formulae we have been working with show the relationship between two variables. If we know the value of one variable in an equation, we can find the value of the other. • We can substitute the number for the letter. Substitution Putting a number in place of a letter in an equation. ” Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 4
