5. Slope Thm. The slope between (x 1,y 1 ) and (x 2,y 2 ) is Ex. Find the slope between (-2,0) and (3,1).

6. Rising line has positive slope: Falling line has negative slope: Horizontal line as slope of 0: Vertical line has undefined slope:  A vertical line has an equation like x = 3, and can’t be written as y = mx + b

7. Thm. Parallel lines have the same slope. Thm. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals. Ex. Are the lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither? (3,-1) to (-3,1) and (0,3) to (-1,0)

15. Functions Def. (formal) A function f from set A to set B is a relation that assigns to each element x in set A exactly on element y in set B. Def. (informal) A set of ordered pairs is a function if no two points have the same x-coordinate

16. Set A (the x’s) The input Domain Set B (the y’s) The output Range x is called the independent variable y is called the dependent variable

18. Ex. Determine whether the relation is a function: a) b) 40-375y 3230x

19. Ex. Determine whether the relation is a function: c) x is the number of representatives from a state, y is the number of senators from the same state d) x is the time spent at a parking meter, y is the cost to park

20. Ex. Determine whether the relation is a function: e) x 2 + y = 1 f) x + y 2 = 1

21. Rather than writing y = 7x + 2 we can express a function as f (x) = 7x + 2  This is called Function Notation

22. Ex. Let g(x) = -x 2 + 4x + 1, find a) g(2) b) g(t) c) g(x + 2)

23. The next example is called a piecewise function because the equation depends on what we are plugging in. Ex. Let, find f (-1), f (0), and f (1).

24. Finding the domain means determining all possible x’s that can be put into the function Ex. Find the domain of the function f : {(-3,0), (-1,4), (0,2), (2,2), (4,-1)}

26. Ex. Find the domain of the function c)

27. Ex. You’re making a can with a height that is 4 times as long as the radius. Express the volume of the can as a function of height.

28. Ex. When a baseball is hit, the height of a baseball is given by the function f (x) = -0.0032x 2 + x + 3, where x is distance travelled (in ft) and f (x) is height (in ft). Will the baseball clear a 10-foot fence that is 300 ft from home plate?

37. Earlier, we worked with slope as the rate of change of a line  If the graph is nonlinear, we still want to talk about rate of change, but this slope is different at every point.

38. We can discuss the average rate of change between two points. (x1,y1)(x1,y1) (x2,y2)(x2,y2)

39. The points can be connected using a secant line (x1,y1)(x1,y1) (x2,y2)(x2,y2)

40. The average rate of change is the slope between the points (x1,y1)(x1,y1) (x2,y2)(x2,y2)
