Part 1 There are a variety of ways to play pool. Most of the goals include hitting the cue ball (white ball) with a cue stick so it hits another ball which follows a path into a pocket.

A coordinate plane is drawn over the pool table below. Graph each function in the coordinate plane and determine whether you believe the shot will go into the pocket. Explain.

Part II
When playing pool it is often helpful to bank a shot. One method of banking a
shot involves calculating the angle so that the shot can hit the rail and reflect off at
the same angle into a pocket. Graph each equation in the coordinate plane. Does
the equation represent the path of a bank shot into a pocket? Explain.

Part III
Given the coordinate plane and pool table below, write an equation whose graph
would trace the path for a shot that would put the ball in a pocket. Graph the
equation. In which pocket would the ball go?
