Linear Functions

The slope Intercept form of a Linear Equation:

To find the slope of a line when given two points, use the formula

In the Equation y = mx + b what do the m and b represent?

• a. m represents the y-intercept on the y-axis

  b represent the slope of the line

• b. m represents the

  slope of the line

  y-intercept on the y-axis

  b represent the

  y-intercept on the

  y-axis

• c. m is the vertex and b is the maximum

• d. m is the minimum or maximum

  and b is the vertex

The standard form of a Linear Function is:

The equation for the parent function of a Linear Equation is:

Give an example of discrete data:

• a. 2, 5, 10, 14

Give an example of Continuous data:

• a. 2, 5, 10, 14

To find slope when given a line on a graph, use:

• d. The slope cannot be determined from just the graph of a line.

A word that help to identify the slope of a line in a real-world problem is:

• a. Per

• b. Each

• c. Every

• d. All of the above

The y-intercept is also known as the:

• a. Ending point

• b. Initial Value

• c. Starting Point

• d. Answers b and c
