How can you identify linear vs. nonlinear in a Graph? 

Graph - it's a straight line

What is the name of y = mx + b?

 "Slope-Intercept" 

100

Horizontal lines have a slope equal to this?

What is ZERO

Random reward-- pick 1 person in the room (can't be yourself).

They get a piece of candy and you get the 100 points.

True or false. Slope refers to the steepness of a line?

TRUE

200

Is the function y = 3x + 4 linear or nonlinear?

Linear

200

What is the slope and y-intercept of the line 

y = 3x + 2

slope = 3 y-intercept = 2

200

Describe Mr. Slope Guy's nose and what it stands for.

A vertical line with a U shape underneath it. This means that the vertical line's slope is undefined.

200

Who has the greater speed?

 Hercules

True or False. Linear equations are always straight lines.
TRUE

How can you identify linear vs. nonlinear in an Equation?

It must be in the form of y=mx+b to be counted as linear. 

Nonlinear has exponents, square roots, random stuff that isn't normal.

300

What is the slope and y-intercept of the line:

y=-1/4x - 6

Slope = -1/4 y-intercept = -6

300

What is at the end of Mr. Slope Guy's mouth? And what does it stand for?

Zeros- or circles- but it means that a horizontal line has a zero slope.

How do we find slope on a graph?

Rise over Run

Is the function   y = sqrt( 3x) +4  linear or nonlinear?

Nonlinear. Remember, it has to be in y=mx +b, where m is multiplied by x. In this equation, x is being square-rooted.


400

What is the slope and y-intercept of the following equation: y=-x + 3

Slope = -1 y-intercept = 3

Describe Mr. Slope Guy's eyes & eyebrows.

Left side - positive sign with his eyebrow angled up (from left to right) and the right side is a negative sign with the eyebrow going down (L to R).

Random reward-- pick 3 people in the room (can't be yourself).

the 1st person selected gets the DOUBLE the points and the other two get the regular points.

Your team gets candy!

How can you identify linear vs. nonlinear in a Table?

Determine if the change is CONSTANT.

Random reward-- pick 1 person in the room (can't be yourself).

If you picked someone in your group- then you each get candy. (and no points rewarded)

If you picked someone else- they get candy and your group gets 500 points!

The slope of the line that passes through (2,4) and (2,-3).

What is "UNDEFINED!" because this is a vertical line.
