Telecom Temperature Problems
A telecommunications service provider charges $30 for a mobile plan offering 2 GB of data
monthly. If a customer uses data beyond this limit, they are charged an additional $12 per
GB.
For 13 GB:
y = 12 × 13 + 6 = 156 + 6 = 162
Total Charge: $162

i) Fill in the missing value in the table:
We can see that the South Korean Won (KRW) is 4.2 times the Pakistani Rupee (PKR).
So, for PKR 100, the KRW will be 100 * 4.2 = 420.
iii) Write down the equation of the straight line. Hence, state the currency exchange
rate on that day:
The equation of the line is y = 4.2x. The currency exchange rate is 4.2 KRW per PKR.
iv) Determine:
a) the amount of South Korean won Cheryl will receive in exchange for PKR 300:
b) the amount in Pakistani rupee Cheryl needs to spend to receive KRW 50:
c) the amount of South Korean won Cheryl will receive in exchange for PKR 270:
First computer: The technician started at point A and finished at point B. The time
taken is the difference between the x-coordinates of these points: 20 minutes - 10
minutes = 10 minutes.
Second computer: The technician started at point C and finished at point D. The
time taken is the difference between the x-coordinates of these points: 50 minutes - 30
minutes = 20 minutes.
ii) How far from his workshop was his first customer?
The first customer was at point B. The distance from the workshop is the y-coordinate
of point B, which is 6 km.
iii) Find the gradient of each of the following line segments, stating clearly what
each gradient represents.
a) OA: The gradient of OA represents the technician's speed while driving to the first
customer. It is calculated as the change in distance (y-coordinate) divided by the
change in time (x-coordinate): (6 km - 0 km) / (10 minutes - 0 minutes) = 0.6 km/min.
b) AB: The gradient of AB represents the technician's speed while driving back from
the first customer to the workshop. It is calculated as (0 km - 6 km) / (20 minutes - 10
minutes) = -0.6 km/min. The negative sign indicates that the distance from the
workshop is decreasing.
c) BC: The gradient of BC represents the technician's speed while driving to the
second customer. It is calculated as (5 km - 0 km) / (30 minutes - 20 minutes) = 0.5
km/min.
d) CD: The gradient of CD represents the technician's speed while repairing the
second computer. Since the distance remains constant during the repair, the gradient
is 0 km/min.
e) DE: The gradient of DE represents the technician's speed while driving back from
the second customer to the workshop. It is calculated as (0 km - 5 km) / (60 minutes -
50 minutes) = -0.5 km/min. The negative sign again indicates a decrease in distance
from the workshop.

a) 0.5 kg:
b) 4 kg:
c) 9 kg:
v) How much will a customer have to pay for a package that weighs:
a) 7.5 kg:
Total cost = 2 * 7.5 + 3 = $18
b) 18.5 kg:
Unfortunately, the graph in the image is not clear enough to provide specific
calculations. However, I can explain the general approach:
Find the slope of the line: This represents the distance traveled per liter of petrol.
Find the y-intercept: This represents the initial distance traveled before using
any petrol (might be zero).
Write the equation of the line: This will be in the form D = mP + b, where D is
the distance, P is the petrol used, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
Once you have the equation, you can plug in values for P to find the corresponding
distance D.
Question 1:
Looking at the graph, we can see that the line intersects the vertical axis at the point (0,
0), and it passes through the point (2, 20). This means that for every 1 liter of petrol used,
the car travels 10 kilometers. Therefore, with 2 liters of petrol, the car can travel 20
kilometers.
b) How far can the car travel if it has 5.2 liters of petrol?
Extending the logic from part (a), we can calculate that with 5.2 liters of petrol, the car
can travel 5.2 liters * 10 km/liter = 52 kilometers.
Question 2:
a) What is the cost of petrol required to travel 30 km, given that 1 liter of petrol
costs $1.40?
First, we need to determine how much petrol is required to travel 30 km. Since the car
travels 10 km per liter, it will need 30 km / 10 km/liter = 3 liters of petrol.

Graph:
Plot the points from the table on the graph with the x-axis representing points and the y-
axis representing the reduction in price. Connect the points with a straight line.
c)
Equation:
The equation of the straight line can be found using the slope-intercept form:
R = mP + b
Where:
m = (6 - 0) / (30 - 0) = 0.2
Since the y-intercept is 0 (no reduction for 0 points), the equation becomes:
R = 0.2P
d)
Amount in Cash:
If a customer redeems 210 points for a purchase of $48.90, the reduction in price would
be:
Exercise 2
a)
b)
Graph:
Plot the points from the table on the graph with the x-axis representing the number of T-
shirts and the y-axis representing the cost. Connect the points with a straight line.
c)
Equation:
The equation of the straight line can be found using the slope-intercept form:
C = mN + b
Where:
C is the cost
m is the slope (cost per T-shirt)
N is the number of T-shirts
b is the y-intercept (cost when N = 0)
m = (30 - 0) / (10 - 0) = 3
Since the y-intercept is 0 (no cost for 0 T-shirts), the equation becomes:
C = 3N
This equation represents the cost of printing T-shirts for David's business.
