Linear equations and linear functions

Identifying the slope and y-intercept

Look at the examples:

The following is a table of values:

  • Can you find the y-intercept of a line from a table of values?
  • What is the meaning of those values in the table?

Identifying the slope and y-intercept

Can you find the slope of a line or rate of change from a table of values?

Identifying the slope and y-intercept

Look at the examples:

The following is a table of values:

  • Can you identify the y-intercept of the line from that table of values?
  • Can you see the rate of change or the slope from that table of values?

Keep in mind!

Linear equations

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is an equation written:y= mx + b Where the slope is m and the y-intercept is b.

Identifying the slope and y-intercept

Look at the examples:

Look at the graph of a linear equation

  • Can you identify the y-intercept of the line from the graph?
  • Can you see the rate of change or the slope from the graph?
  • Can you write the equation in the slope-intercept form from the graph?

Identifying the slope and y-intercept

Look at the examples:

Let's graph the equation y=2x+3 in slope-intercept form:

  • Can you identify the y-intercept of the line from the equation?
  • Can you see the rate of change or the slope from the equation?
  • What do you need to graph the equation?

point-slope formula

If you have a point and the slope of a line, you can find the linear equation.

Time to practice!

SUMMARY

LINEAR FUNCTIONS

Many stretches have a speed limit of 120km/h. If a car travels continuously at this speed, the linear equation y=120x gives the number of kilometers y that the car would travel in x hours.

How to find a linear function?

Let's suppose that we have two points: (-1, 15) and (2, 27). We can find the linear function using those points:
