1. Linear Function A Linear Function Is a function of the form where m and b are real numbers and m is the slope and b is the y - intercept. The x – intercept is The domain and range of a linear function are all real numbers. Graph

2. Graph of a Linear Function The linear function can be graphed using the slope and the y-ntercept Example If m = 3 b = 2 The linear function can be graphed using the x and the y-intercepts

3. Average Rate of Change The average rate of change of a Linear Function is the constant For example, For f(x)= 5x - 2, the average rate of change is m =5

4. Page 121 #15 f(x) = -3x+4 The slope is m = -3, the y-intercept b = 4 The average rate of change is the constant m = -3 Since m =-3 is negative the graph is slanted downwards. Thus the function is decreasing

5. Page 121 #19 f(x) = 3 f(x)=0x + 3 m = 0 b = 3 The average of change is 0 Since the average rate of change, m = 0 The function is constant neither increasing or decreasing

6. Page 121 #21 To find the zero of f(x), we set f(x) = 0 and solve. 2x - 8 = 0 x = 8/2 = 4 y-intercept Will graph in class

7. Page 121 #25 To find the zero of f(x), we set f(x) = 0 and solve. x - 8 = 0 x = 16 y-intercept Will graph in class

8. Linear or Non Linear Function If a function is linear the slope or rate of change is constant That is is always the same

9. Page 121 #28 XY=f(x) -2¼ ½ 01 12 24 The rate of change is not constant. Not a Linear Function

10. Page 121 #32 xy = f(x) -2-4 -3.5 0-3 1-2.5 2-2 Note the rate of change is constant. It is always m =.5 thus the function is linear
