SECTION 2.1 Linear Functions

L INE IN P LANE Recall from Geometry that two distinct points in the plane determine a unique line containing those points

S LOPE To give a sense of the ‘steepness’ of the line, we recall we can compute the slope of the line using the formula below The slope m of the line containing the points P(x 0, y 0 ) and Q(x 1, y 1 ) is: provided x 1 ≠ x 0

E XAMPLE Find the slope of the line containing the following pairs of points, if it exists Plot each pair of points and the line containing them 1. P(0,0), Q(2,4) 2. P(-1,2), Q(3,4) 3. P(-2,3), Q(2,-3) 4. P(-3,2), Q(4,2) 5. P(2,3), Q(2,-1) 6. P(2,3), Q(2.1, -1)

C OMMENTS 1. If the slope is positive then the resulting line is said to be increasing 2. If it is negative, we say the line is decreasing 3. A slope of 0 results in a horizontal line which we say is constant 4. An undefined slope results in a vertical line

R ISE AND R UN The slope can be described as the ratio For example, if m = ½, we can interpret this as a rise of 1 unit upward for every 2 units to the right we travel along the line

D ELTA AND R ATE OF C HANGE Using more formal notation, we use the Greek letter delta ‘Delta’ to write In most scientific circles, the symbol Δ means ‘change in’ We may write which describes the slope as the rate of change of y with respect to x Rates of change abound in the ‘real world’, as the next example illustrates

E XAMPLE At 6 AM, it is 24F At 10 AM, it is 32F 1. Find the slope of the line containing the points (6,24) and (10, 32) 2. Interpret your answer to the first part in terms of temperature and time 3. Predict the temperature at noon

P OINT -S LOPE F ORM The point-slope form of the line with slope m containing the point is the equation Example: Write the equation of the line containing the points (-1,3) and (2,1)

S LOPE -I NTERCEPT F ORM The slope-intercept form of the line with slope m and y-intercept (0,b) is the equation y = mx + b

L INEAR F UNCTION A linear function is a function of the form f(x) = mx + b where m and b are real numbers with m ≠ 0 The domain of a linear function is

C ONSTANT F UNCTION A constant function is a function of the form f(x) = b where b is real number The domain of a constant function is

G RAPHS OF L INEAR AND C ONSTANT F UNCTIONS To graph a function, f, we graph the equation y = f(x) The graph of a linear function is a line with slope m and y-intercept (0,b) The graph of a constant function is a horizontal line (with slope m = 0) and a y-intercept of (0,b) A line with positive slope is an increasing line because a linear function with m > 0 is an increasing function A line with a negative slope is a decreasing line because a linear function with m < 0 is a decreasing function. Horizontal lines are constants

E XAMPLE Graph the following functions Identify the slope and y-intercept 1. f(x) = 3 2. f(x) = 3x – 1 3. f(x) = (3 - 2x)/4 4. f(x) = (x 2 - 4)/(x - 2)
