Identifying Linear Functions
What is a function whose graph forms a straight line called?
linear function
What is the point where the graph intersects the x axis called?
What is the x intercept
What is the slope of a horizontal line?
Zero
What is slope intercept form?
y=mx+b
Write the linear equation in point slope form: Slope=-7 ; (4,2)
y-2 = -7(x -4)
What is the standard form of a linear equation?
Ax+By=C
Find the x intercept: 2x- 4y=8
x=4; (4, 0)
What is the slope of a vertical line?
Undefined
Write the equation in slope intercept form: slope=0, y intercept =-5
y=-5
What is the point-slope form?
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
Tell whether the function is linear and turn it into standard form of linear equation: y=x+3
Yes can be written as -x+y=3
Find the x and y intercepts of 3x+4y=24
x=8; (8, 0) and y=6; (0, 6)

What is -4/5
Write the equation in slope intercept form: slope=4 and (2,5) is on the line
y=4x-3
How do you turn point-slope to slope-intercept?
distribute and then inverse operations

How do you graph the equation: y= 4x-3
2. Graph up 4 and to the right 1
Write this equation in point slope form & in slope intercept form: slope=-4, (-1,-2)
Point slope form: y+2= -4(x+1) Slope intercept: y=-4x -6
How do you know if a graph is linear or not?
it would be a straight line
