Is the following equation a function? 

y = x+3

Yes this is a function!

100

What is the equation for slope-intercept form? 

y = mx + b

Looking at the following ordered pair, what are the x intercept and y intercepts?

(5,0) and (0,3)

x-intercept: 5

y-intercept: 3

What Ms. Kalin's dog's name? 

 Bones!

200

Why is the following not a function? 

The input, 0, has multiple outputs, -2 and 1. 

200

Solve for y in 

2x + y = 8

y = 8 - 2x

200

Find the y-intercept in the following equation:

y = -3 + 2x

(0, -3) 

200

Is the following a function? 


Yes!

What are two ways we can tell if an equation is a function? 

1) The graph passes the vertical line test. 

2) The x-values map to only one y-value.

300

Solve for y:

6x - 2y = 12

y = -6 + 3x

300

Solve for the x and y intercepts:

2x + 3y = 30

x intercept: (15, 0)

y intercept: (0, 10)

300

Solve for y:

-2x + 6y = 18


y = 3 + 1/3x

400

Does the following mapping represent a function? 

Yes, since the x's only map to one y each. 

400

What is the mistake in the following steps? 

1) 2y + 3x = 12

2) 2y = 12 + 3x

3) y = 6 + 3/2x 

From step 1 to step 2, 3x should have been subtracted from both sides. Instead, it was added. 

400

What are the intercepts from the following equation?

y = 7

x intercept: none

y intercept: 7

400

What is the y intercept for the following equation:

6x = 18

None! This equation is x = 3 and will never cross the y-axis. 

500

Does this graph represent a function? 

No, it fails the vertical line test.

What is the equation for standard form of a linear equation? 

Ax + By = C

Robert deposits $600 into a savings account. Every month, the account gains 0.05% interest. What is the y intercept in this scenario? 

(0, 600) since that is when our x (number of months) will be equal to 0. It is the initial amount!

Sarah goes to a carnival. Each carnival ride costs $1.50 each. She pays $3 total for parking.

What is the y intercept in this scenario? 

(0, 6) since the equation is 

y = 1.5x + 3.
