Project: Linear Modeling
Dear student, you may consult with other students for help, but under no circumstances take
someone’s work and claim it to be yours.
In this activity you will be investigating the rising cost of the MTA transit fare over a period of
time in New York City. The goal is to use data to develop a simple mathematical model which
can be used to make some reasonable predictions.
You will incorporate the use of algebraic skills such as graphing, rate of change and linear function to
complete this activity.
Step 1: Introduction (2pts)
Read through this activity and then write a brief introduction of the goals in this activity.
After analyzing the increased cost of MTA transit fares over a certain period in New York City, I will use
this data to create a model to help make logical predictions. I will after graph, find the rate of change,
and create a linear function to be able to complete this project.
Step 2: Scatter Plot (5pts)
Use the following data provided in the table below to obtain a scatter plot of time vs. price.
Describe the trend of the price in the plot. Do you find the trend shocking?
