Answer 1

Given : Jimmy receives his first 3 video games free then pays $50 for each game after that.

To Find :  Is the amount of money he spends on video games proportional to the number of games he owns?

Choose 1 answer: yes or no

Solution:

Video Game      Fee Paid

0                             0

1                              0

2                              0

3                              0

4                             50

5                             100

6                              150

Function is not Linear  But a piecewise function

f(x) = 0    for x ≤ 3

    =  50(x - 3)  for x > 3

Hence the amount of money he spends on video games  is not proportional to the number of games he owns
