Algebra II Dream Car Project - Allen Independent School ...



325755-704974Project OutlineYou will research online used car values to find the value of the same car over a range of 6 years. Pick your favorite car, or maybe a dream car you would like to own someday. Make sure you pick a car that has been around for 6 years. With the car value data you collect, you will be creating a graph and writing a linear equation in slope intercept form that represents the car’s value.PART 1-GATHERING YOUR DATA ONLINE (20 points)Directions:Go to Kelley Blue Book at . Find the Explore Vehicles section at bottom of page. Click on the Used Cars button and select by make. (i.e. Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc.) You will be prompted to enter a zip code, enter the school’s zip code 75002 and save. 2. Next Select a Category (i.e. SUV, sedan, van) and then Select a Model. Now you will start selecting specific years. For each year you research, you will complete the following steps 3-7. Be consistent in the options you choose for each car year. You will collect 6 years worth of car value data. We suggest you start with 2011 and collect years down to 2005. 3. Now Select a Year to find your first car value. 4. There may be several styles for your dream car, so Choose a style (i.e. DX, LX, EX, etc.) Remember to choose the same style every year.5. The next page is the “pimp my ride” page. Here you may add options to your dream car. Select the options you want to add and write down them down to use on the future years. You may select the price without added options button and take the default options included already on the car.6. On the next page, you will Select a Price Type. You will choose Suggested Retail. 7. Next select get used car price. The value of the car will be shown. You will need to record the year and car value as a data point on your table and graph. Now repeat steps 3 -7 to collect 5 more years of data. 385445-69532500PART 2-CREATING A TABLE, GRAPH AND WRITING AN EQUATIONOnce you have collected 6 years of car value data, you will create a table, graph, and write an equation that represents your car values. These will be included on your final document. 1. Complete the table and the graph using MS Excel.2. Draw in a line of best fit or use Excel to model the points on your graph3. Using your graphing calculator, type your data into STAT and perform a linear regression. PART 3 – FINAL DOCUMENT WILL INCLUDECar Name and Options chosen (10)Table- will need to be 3 columns actual year, years since and price. (10)Graph- including scatter plot and trend line. (20)Title (4)Axes labeled (use a description, not just x and y) (4)Appropriate scales (4)Scatterplot (4)Line of best fit (4)Linear Model – must be in slope intercept form. (10)Slope – describe using a complete sentence. (5)Y-intercept - describe using a complete sentence. (5)Photograph - make and model of vehicle. (5)Predict what year of car you could purchase with only $5,000, and use a complete sentence. (9)Domain and Range of linear model (an inequality). (8)Domain and Range of your data from least to greatest.
