What is a function?
An equation where the slope is a constant rate of change
Linear!
Y-intercept (0, -3)
Slope: 2
y=2x-3
What is f(2) when f(x)=4x-6?
f(2) = 4(2) - 6
=8-6
=2
Find the point for x=0:
y=2x-9
(0, -9)
Is this a function?
{(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5)}
No
Is y=2x2 + 3 a linear function?
No-no power for x!
Y-intercept: 4
Slope: -1/2
y= -1/2x + 4
What is f(4) for f(x)=5x-7
What is the y-intercept and slope for:
y=-2x+7
slope: -2
Is a vertical line a function?
No
Is y=3x-7 a linear function?
Yes!
Y-intercept: -2
Slope: 2
y= 2x - 2
What is x when y=10?
y=2x-4
10=2x-4 --> x=7
add 4 to both sides
14=2x
divide by 2
x=7
What is the y-intercept and slope for
2x+y=8
y-intercept: (0, 8)
slope= -2
Is this a function?
{(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4, 2)}
Yes
Do the points below make a linear function?
{(0, 4), (2, 8), (3, 10)}
Yes! Y-intercept of 4, slope of 4: y=4x+4
(0, 5), (1, 8)
y=3x+5
What is y when x=8?
y=1/2x+3
y=7
What is the slope for 2y=6x-5
slope = 3
Is a circle a function?
No!
No, linear functions only add or subtract each step!
Write the rule:
(-1, -4), (1, 10)
y=7x + 3
What is x when y=4?
Y=2x+10
-3
What is the y-intercept of 2x+3y=12?
(hint: get into y=mx+b)
(0, 4)
