The standard form of a linear equations
Ax+By=C
What is the parent function of the family of linear functions?
f(x)=x
What is the equation to find slope?
What is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
What does the d in the arithmetic sequence equation stand for?
What is the common difference.
What are the requirements to be a proportional relationship?
Of the form y=kx, k does not equal 0, and goes through the origin (0,0)
What are the y and x intercepts?
The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis and the x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis.
What are the two methods for solving a linear equation?
What are graphing and algebraically.
What is the form for direct variation
What is f(x)=kx or y=kx
How do you determine if a sequence is arithmetic?
The common difference must be constant in the sequence for it to be arithmetic.
What does k represent in the equation y=kx?
k is the slope of the equation
On a graph, you look to where the line crosses the axis. In an equation, you set x=0 for the y-intercept and solve. You set y=0 for the x-intercept and solve.
How do you solve by graphing?
You create a table of values and plot the points.
How do you find if a table of values is a linear function?
You find the rate of change of the x-values and the y-values. If they are constant, the table is linear.
What does the arithmetic sequence nth term sequence look like? (What's the formula)
an=a1+(n-1)d where d=common difference, a1=first term, an= the nth term, and n=number of the term
Is the picture on the board proportional? Explain
Yes, the slope is constant and the line goes through the origin
Find the intercepts of 2x+4y=16
x-intercept= 8 so the intercept is (8,0)
y-intercept= 4 so the intercept is (0,4)
When solving a linear function, what are you really finding?
