Graphing and Writing Linear Functions

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Problem
Solution
Graph g(x)=2x +1 Compare this graph to the graph of f(x)=2x   1. Choose 3 values for x & plug them into the equation 2x +1. Now you have an x and y value for three ordered pairs. 2. Plot the 3 ordered pairs on the graph. 3. Plug in the same 3 x values for g(x)=2x+1.Graph and compare.  
🗑
Graph the linear functions f(x)=-3x and g(x)= -3x-6.   1.Choose 4 values for x & plug them into the equation f(x)=-3x. Now you have and x and y value for four ordered pairs. 2. Plot the 4 ordered pairs on the graph. 3. Use the same 4 x values for g(x)=-3x-6. 4. Plot the 4 ordered pair values/Compare.

Find the equation of the line with slope -3 and y-intercept (0,-5). Write the equation using function notation.   1. Knowns-slope-(m=-3), y-intercept (b=-5) 2. Use slope intercept form y=mx +b and plug in values y=-3(x) +(-5)or y=-3x-5. 3. In function notation y is replace with f(x), so f(x)=-3x-5.

Find the equation of the line through the points (4,0) and (-4,-5). Write the equation using function notation.   1. Find slope of the line using slope formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1 2. m=-5-0/-4-4....m=-5/-8=5/8. Slope 5/8 3. Use point slope form y-y1= m(x-x1)... y-0=5/8(x-4). 8y=5x-20 4.Solve for y. y=5/8x- 20/8 or y=5/8x-5/2 5.Substitute f(x) for y.

Find the equation of the horizontal line containing the point (2,3). Write the equation using function notation.   1. A horizontal line's equation is y=c. 2. Because the line contains the ordered pair (2,3), the equation is y=3. 3. To write in function notation replace the y with f(x).....so f(x)=3.  
🗑
Find the equation of the line containing the point (4,4) and parallel to the line 2x +3y=-6. Then write the equation in standard form.   1 Parallel lines will have equal slopes. 2. Find the slope of 2x + 3y=-6, by using the slope-intercept form y=mx + b... y=-2/3x-2. 3.A parallel line to this line (slope -2/3)will also have slope -2/3. Use point-slope form y-y1=m(x-x1)/Solve/2x+3y=20  
🗑
Write a function that describes the line containing a point (4,4) and perpendicular to the line 2x +3y=-6   1. A line that is perpendicular to another line will have (-) reciprocal of slope of that line. 2. Use point-slope equation y-y1=m(x-x1). 3. Plug in values x1=4,y1=4,m=3/2 (reciprocal of 2/3). Solve. 4. Change y to f(x) for function notation.
