Unit 1 - Relationships
When combining (adding or subtracting) integers, watch for the signs. Put all negative numbers
together and add to find the “negative total”, then put all positive numbers together and add to find the
“positive total”. To find the final answer, determine whether there are more negatives or positives and
use this as your final sign. Then subtract the larger total from the smaller total.
Eg. –2 + 5 – 8 + 6 – 3 – 2
= –2 – 8 – 3 – 2 + 5 + 6
= –15 + 11
= –4
When multiplying or dividing remember the following rules:
Positive × Positive Positive
Positive × Negative Negative
Negative × Positive Negative
Negative × Negative Positive

Plotting Points #2
1. (a) A code using ordered pairs has been used to represent a word. To decode it, draw a grid
and plot the points. Find each letter of the word.
• Join (-7, 1) to (-7, 3) to (-6, 2).
• Join (-6, 2) to (-5, 3) to (-5, 1).
• Join (-4, 1) to (-2, 3) to (0, 1).
• Join (-3, 2) to (-1, 2).
• Join (0, 3) to (2, 3) and (1, 1) to (1, 3).
• Join (3, 3) to (3, 1) and (5, 3) to (5, 1) and (3, 2) to (5, 2)
(b) Use the method in part (a) to represent a word of your own.
7. Name and give the coordinates of each point on the boundary of the:
(a) 2nd and 1st quadrants (b) 3rd and 4th quadrants
(c) 1st and 4th quadrants (d) 2nd and 3rd quadrants
Independence Day!
For the following relationships, fill in the blanks to complete each statement.
1. During the 12 minute run in gym class, the relationship between Time and Distance
Statement: The ______________________ depends on the __________________ so
_____________________ is the dependent variable and ___________________ is the
independent variable.
2. The amount of candy you get on Halloween vs. the number of houses you visit
3. The number of detentions a student receives vs. the number of times a student is late.
Sets of data are given below. Below each set a number line (axis) has been drawn. You have to find
what scale to use to fit all the data on the number line. In other words, what should you go up by. I’ve
done the first one for you.
Steps:
1. Divide the highest number in your data by the length of your number line (I mean, how many
blocks is it?)
This number line is 20 blocks long so I’ll get, 152÷20 = 7.6
3. Round your answer to a “nice” number.
Let’s round 7.6 up to 10. We wouldn’t use 8 because its hard to count by 8’s. We wouldn’t use
7 because we might not get all the data fitted on the number line.
So here’s what the number would look like. Notice it’s only numbered every 5th value so the
numbers wouldn’t be crammed together.

Use the information and activities on this page to complete the following tasks:
1) Take 2 minutes and use the interactive grid to create a couple of different scatter
plots.
2) Scroll down and read the definitions under the scatter plot graph you just created.
3) Follow the “directions” 1-4 and create the different types of correlations. Draw an
example of each below (it does not need to be exact – just sketch).
Scatterplots #1
The age and heights of some Oak trees were recorded in a table:
Age
4 6 8 10 12 8 6 13 13 12 10 10 9 11
(years)
Height
2 4 3 6 5 4 2 5 6 7 4 5 3 6
(metres)
1. Do you think there is a relationship between the age and the height of the tree?
2. Predict what you think the relationship will be.
3. Which data will you place on the horizontal axis? Why?
4. Label the axes and decide on an appropriate scale.
5. Plot the points.
6. Describe the relationship.
7. Was your prediction correct?
