4.1 A: Identifying Linear Functions

The graph represents a function because each domain value ( x value) is paired with exactly one range value ( y value). Notice that the graph is a straight line. A function whose graph forms a straight line is called a _________________________. Identify whether the graph represents a function. Explain. If the graph does represent a function, is the function linear?

You can sometimes identify a linear function by looking at a table or a list of ordered pairs. In a linear function, a constant change in x corresponds to a constant change in y. Tell whether the set of ordered pairs satisfies a linear function. Explain.

**1. {(0, –3), (4, 0), (8, 3), (12, 6), (16, 9)}

  1. {(–4, 13), (–2, 1), (0, –3), (2, 1), (4, 13)}**

For linear functions whose graphs are not horizontal, the

domain and range are all real numbers. However, in many real

world situations, the domain and range must be restricted. For

example, some quantities cannot be negative, such as time.

Sometimes domain and range are restricted even further to a

set of points. For example, a quantity such as number of

people can only be whole numbers. When this happens, the

graph is not actually connected because every point on the

line is not a solution. However, you may see these graphs

shown connected to indicate that the linear pattern, or trend,

continues.

Domain: ___________________________ Range:____________________________ An approximate relationship between human years and dog years is given by the function y = 7 x , where x is the number of human years. Graph this function and give its domain and range. At a salon, Sue can rent a station for $10.00 per day plus $3.00 per manicure. The amount she would pay each day is given by f ( x ) = 3 x + 10, where x is the number of manicures. Graph this function and give its domain and range.

4.2A: Using Intercepts Objectives: 1. Find x and y intercepts and interpret their meanings in real world situations.

  1. Use x and y intercepts to graph lines.

The ______________ is the y

coordinate of the point where

the graph intersects the y axis.

The x coordinate of this point is

always 0.

The ______________ is the

x coordinate of the point

where the graph intersects

the x axis. The y coordinate

of this point is always 0.

Find the x and y intercepts.

  1. –3 x^ +^5 y^ =^30 2. 5 x – 2 y = 10
    1. 4 x + 2 y = 16

4.2B: Using Intercepts Objectives: 1. Find x and y intercepts and interpret their meanings in real world situations.

  1. Use x and y intercepts to graph lines.

Remember, to graph a linear function, you need to plot only

two ordered pairs. It is often simplest to find the ordered

pairs that contain the intercepts.

Use intercepts to graph the line described by the equation.

3 x – 7 y = 21 y^ =^ – x^ +^4

  • –3 x + 4 y = –

Find the slope of the line.

Tell whether the slope of each line is positive, negative, zero or undefined.

4.4 The Slope Formula Objectives: 1. Find slope by using the slope formula. Find the slope of the line that contains (2, 5) & (8, 1). Find the slope of the line that contains (–2, –2) & (7, –2). Find the slope of the line that contains (5, –7) & (6, –4). Find the slope of the line that contains and

The graphs show a linear relationship. Find the slope.

The tables show a linear relationship. Find the slope.

4.5 Direct Variation Objectives: 1. Identify, write, and graph a direct variation. A _______________ is a special type of linear relationship that can be written in the form y = kx , where k is a nonzero constant called the ________________. Tell whether the equation represents a direct variation. If so, identify the constant of variation. y = 3 x 3 x + y = 8 –4 x + 3 y = 0 3 y = 4 x + 1 3 x = –4 y y + 3 x = 0

Tell whether the relationship is a direct variation.

Explain.

Method 1 Method 2

The value of y varies directly with x , and y = 3, when x = 9.

Find y when x = 21.

Method 1 Method 2

The value of y varies directly with x , and y = 4.5 when x

= 0.5. Find y when x = 10.

A group of people are tubing down a river at an average

speed of 2 mi/h. Write a direct variation equation that

gives the number of miles y that the people will float in

x hours. Then graph.
