Module 2 - Linear Functions

        Help!  

Term
Definition
In the equation, y=3x+2, what is the slope and what is the y intercept?   The slope is 3, and the y intercept is 2.  
🗑
Given the point (7,3) and the slope being 7, give the equation in point-slope form.   Plug the points and slope into the equation: y-y1=m(x-x1) which is, y-3=7(x-7)  
🗑
Find the equation of a line passing through the given points: (-4,-3) (-6,-2)   find the slope, (rise/run) (-2-(-3))/(-6-(-4)) = -1/2 = slope. Then put the first set of coordinates into point-slope form. y-(-3)= -1/2(x-(-4)). Distribute and you get: y+3= -1/2x -4/2. Mult. both sides by 2. 2y+6=-1x-4, which = y=-1/2x-5  
🗑
What equation form do we use to define a linear function?   Slope-intercept form. y=mx+b  
🗑
What would a graph of f(x)= 3 look like?   A horizontal line through the 3 on the y axis  
🗑
Find an equation of a line that intersects (8,-3) and parallel to 3x+4y=1 and write in standard form   Set the equation equal to y. y=-3/4x +1/4. The -3/4x will be your slope as well. Plug your points into point-slope form. y-(-3)=-3/4(x-8) and distribute and multiply both sides by 4 to get 4y+12=-3x+24. Write in standard form. 3x+4y=12  
🗑
Find an equation of a line that intersects (3, -7) and is perpendicular to y=1/4x -2 in slope intercept form   Our slope is the negative reciprocal of 1/4x which is -4x. Then we plug the points and slope into point-slope form. y-(-7)=-4(x-3). Distribute. y+4=-4x+12. set the equation equal to y. y=-4x+5  
🗑
Are these two lines parallel, perpendicular or neither? y=4x+23 y=4x-10   parallel because they have the same slope  
🗑
Are these two lines parallel, perpendicular or neither? y=7x+1/2 y=-1/7x-1/2   perpendicular because the slope is the negative reciprocal  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
