Understanding Numbers and Linear Functions

The video tutorial covers different types of numbers, including natural, whole, integers, rational, and irrational numbers. It introduces various types of functions, focusing on linear functions and their three forms: slope-intercept, standard, and point-slope. The tutorial explains how to graph linear equations using these forms and demonstrates converting between them. It concludes with solving systems of linear inequalities and finding solution sets.

Which type of number includes both positive and negative fractions?

• Natural numbers

• Irrational numbers

• Whole numbers

• Rational numbers

What is unique about the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

• It has the y variable by itself.

• It provides a point and a slope.

• It provides an x-intercept and a y-intercept.

• It includes parentheses.

In standard form, what do the x and y variables represent?

• They are both equal to zero.

• They are on opposite sides of the equation.

• They are both on the same side of the equation.

• They are both in parentheses.

How do you determine the slope from the slope-intercept form?

• It is the coefficient of x.

• It is the constant term.

• It is the y-intercept.

• It is the sum of x and y.

What is the first step in graphing a line using slope-intercept form?

• Draw a vertical line.

• Find the midpoint.

• Plot the y-intercept.

• Plot the x-intercept.

What is the key feature of point-slope form?

• It includes parentheses.

• It includes a y-intercept.

• It has x and y on the same side.

• It is always in fraction form.

How can you convert a linear equation from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

• Distribute and simplify to isolate y.

• Add the x and y terms together.

• Switch the x and y terms.

• Multiply by the denominator.

What is a system of linear inequalities?

• A single equation with two variables.

• Two or more equations that share a solution.

• An equation with no solution.

• A graph with no intercepts.

How do you find the solution set for a system of linear inequalities?

• Find the intersection of the graphs.

• Add the equations together.

• Subtract one equation from the other.

• Multiply the equations.

What does the overlap of shaded regions in a graph of inequalities represent?

• The solution set

• The x-intercept

• The slope

• The y-intercept
