3 1.3 Linear Functions Linear Function A function f defined by where
a and b are real numbers, is called a linear function. Its graph is called a line. Its solution is an ordered pair, (x,y), that makes the equation true.

4 Example 1.3 Linear Functions
The points (0,6) and (–1,3) are solutions of since 6 = 3(0) + 6 and 3 = 3(–1) + 6.

5 1.3 Graphing a Line Using Points
Graphing the line Connect with a straight line. x y 2 1 3 6 1 9 (0,6) and (–2,0) are the y- and x-intercepts of the line y = 3x + 6, and x = –2 is the zero of the function.

6 1.3 Graphing a Line with the TI-83
Graph the line with the TI-83 Xmin=-10, Xmax=10, Xscl=1 Ymin=-10, Ymax=10,Yscl=1

7 Locating x- and y-Intercepts
To find the x-intercept of the graph of y = ax + b, let y = 0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept of the graph of y = ax + b, let x = 0 and solve for y.

8 1.3 Zero of a Function Zero of a Function
Let f be a function. Then any number c for which f (c) = 0 is called a zero of the function f.

9 1.3 Graphing a Line Using the Intercepts
Example: Graph the line x y x-intercept 5 y-intercept 2.5

10 1.3 Application of Linear Functions
A 100 gallon tank full of water is being drained at a rate of 5 gallons per minute. a) Write a formula for a linear function f that models the number of gallons of water in the tank after x minutes. b) How much water is in the tank after 4 minutes? c) Use the x- and y-intercepts to graph f. Interpret each intercept.

11 1.3 Constant Function Constant Function b is a real number.
The graph is a horizontal line. y-intercept: (0,b) Domain range Example:

12 1.3 Constant Function Constant Function
A function defined by f(x) = b, where b is a real number, is called a constant function. Its graph is a horizontal line with y-intercept b. For b not equal to 0, it has no x-intercept. (Every constant function is also linear.)

13 1.3 Graphing with the TI-83 Different views with the TI-83
Comprehensive graph shows all intercepts

14 1.3 Slope Slope of a Line In 1984, the average annual cost for tuition and fees at private four-year colleges was $5991. By 2004, this cost had increased to $20,082. The line graphed to the right is actually somewhat misleading, since it indicates that the increase in cost was the same from year to year. The average yearly increase in cost (aka slope) was $705.

15 1.3 Formula for Slope The slope m of the line passing through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

16 1.3 Example: Finding Slope Given Points
Determine the slope of a line passing through points (2, 1) and (5, 3).

17 1.3 Graph a Line Using Slope and a Point
Example using the slope and a point to graph a line Graph the line that passes through (2,1) with slope

18 1.3 Slope of a Line Geometric Orientation Base on Slope
For a line with slope m, If m > 0, the line rises from left to right. If m < 0, the line falls from left to right. If m = 0, the line is horizontal.

19 1.3 Slope of Horizontal and Vertical Lines
The slope of a horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined. The equation of a vertical line that passes through the point (a,b) is

20 1.3 Vertical Line Vertical Line A vertical line with x-intercept a has an equation of the form x = a. Its slope is undefined.

21 1.3 Slope-Intercept Form of a Line
The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

22 1.3 Matching Examples Solution: A. B. C. 1) C, 2) A, 3)B

23 Interpreting Slope 1.3 Application of Slope
In 1980, passengers traveled a total of 4.5 billion miles on Amtrak, and in 2007 they traveled 5.8 billion miles. a) Find the slope m of the line passing through the points (1980, 4.5) and (2007, 5.8). Solution: b) Interpret the slope. The average number of miles traveled on Amtrak increased by about 0.05 billion, or 50 million miles per year.
