Describe a y-intercept.
The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis. At this point x=0
100
Write a linear function with a slope of -9 and a y-intercept of 5
y =-9x+5
100
Does the table represent a linear or nonlinear function? Explain using the phrase "constant rate of change."
x y
2 9
4 18
6 27
8 36
This represents a linear equation because x and y have a constant rate of change.
100
Identify the slope of the linear equation
y = -x + 6
The slope is -1
100
What is the product of the slope of two perpendicular lines?
-1
100
What is the slope of the lines with points written in function notation below?
f(0) = 4
f(-2) = 8
-2
200
Describe an x-intercept.
The x intercept is the point where the line crosses the x axis. At this point y = 0.
200
Write a linear function in standard form where A=2 B=-4 and C=19
2x-4y=19
200
In the graph of x = 4, does this represent a linear or nonlinear function? Explain using the terms function, inputs and outputs.
This graph would represent neither linear or nonlinear because a vertical line is not considered a function as the input 4 is paired with multiple outputs.
200
What is the slope of a horizontal line?
The slope is 0.
200
What is an equation that is parallel to the line y = -3x - 3 and passes through (0, 5)?
y = -3x + 5

300
Is the function represented by the ordered pairs linear or nonlinear? Explain.
(0,2) (3,14) (5,22) (9,38) (11,46)
This represents a linear function. Both x and y increase by a constant rate of change.
