F.IF.4 For a function that models a relationship between
two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and
tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs
showing key features given a verbal description of the
relationship.
F.IF.9 Compare properties of two functions each
represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically,
numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
Mathematical Practices
3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others.
You analyzed relations and functions.
• Identify linear relations and functions.
• Write linear equations in standard form.
• linear relation
• nonlinear relation
• linear equation
• linear function
• standard form
• y-intercept
• x-intercept
Identify Linear Functions
A. State whether g(x) = 2x – 5 is a linear function.
Write yes or no. Explain.
Answer: Yes; this is a linear function because it is in the
form g(x) = mx + b; m = 2, b = –5.
Identify Linear Functions
B. State whether p(x) = x3 + 2 is a linear function.
Write yes or no. Explain.
Answer: No; this is not a linear function because x has
an exponent other than 1.
Identify Linear Functions
C. State whether t(x) = 4 + 7x is a linear function.
Write yes or no. Explain.
Answer: Yes; this is a linear function because it can be
written as t(x) = mx + b; m = 7, b = 4.
A. State whether h(x) = 3x – 2 is a linear function.
Explain.
A. yes; m = –2, b = 3
B. yes; m = 3, b = –2
C. No; x has an exponent
other than 1.
D. No; there is no slope.
B. State whether f(x) = x2 – 4 is a linear function.
Explain.
A. yes; m = 1, b = –4
B. yes; m = –4, b = 1
C. No; two variables are
multiplied together.
D. No; x has an exponent
other than 1.
C. State whether g(x, y) = 3xy is a linear function.
Explain.
A. yes; m = 3, b = 1
B. yes; m = 3, b = 0
C. No; two variables are
multiplied together.
D. No; x has an exponent
other than 1.
Evaluate a Linear Function
A. METEOROLOGY The linear function
f(C) = 1.8C + 32 can be used to find the number of
degrees Fahrenheit f(C) that are equivalent to a
given number of degrees Celsius C.
On the Celsius scale, normal body temperature is
37C. What is it in degrees Fahrenheit?
f(C) = 1.8C + 32
Original function
f(37) = 1.8(37) + 32
Substitute.
= 98.6
Simplify.
Answer: Normal body temperature, in degrees
Fahrenheit, is 98.6°F.
Evaluate a Linear Function
B. METEOROLOGY The linear function
f(C) = 1.8C + 32 can be used to find the number of
degrees Fahrenheit f(C) that are equivalent to a
given number of degrees Celsius C.
There are 100 Celsius degrees between the freezing
and boiling points of water and 180 Fahrenheit
degrees between these two points. How many
Fahrenheit degrees equal 1 Celsius degree?
Divide 180 Fahrenheit degrees by 100 Celsius degrees.
Answer: 1.8°F = 1°C
A. 50 miles
B. 5 miles
C. 2 miles
D. 0.5 miles
A. 0.6 second
B. 1.67 seconds
C. 5 seconds
D. 15 seconds
Standard Form
Write y = 3x – 9 in standard form. Identify A, B,
and C.
y = 3x – 9
Original equation
–3x + y = –9
Subtract 3x from each side.
3x – y = 9
Multiply each side by –1 so
that A ≥ 0.
Answer: 3x – y = 9; A = 3, B = –1, and C = 9
Write y = –2x + 5 in standard form.
A. y = –2x + 5
B. –5 = –2x + y
C. 2x + y = 5
D. –2x – 5 = –y
Use Intercepts to Graph a Line
Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph
of –2x + y – 4 = 0. Then graph the equation.
The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.
–2x + y – 4 = 0
Original equation
–2x + 0 – 4 = 0
Substitute 0 for y.
–2x = 4
x = –2
Add 4 to each side.
Divide each side by –2.
The x-intercept is –2. The graph crosses the x-axis at
(–2, 0).
Use Intercepts to Graph a Line
Likewise, the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.
–2x + y – 4 = 0
Original equation
–2(0) + y – 4 = 0
Substitute 0 for x.
y =4
Add 4 to each side.
The y-intercept is 4. The graph crosses the y-axis
at (0, 4).
Use Intercepts to Graph a Line
Use the ordered pairs to graph this equation.
Answer: The x-intercept is –2, and the y-intercept is 4.
What are the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the
graph of 3x – y + 6 = 0?
A. x-intercept = –2
y-intercept = 6
B. x-intercept = 6
y-intercept = –2
C. x-intercept = 2
y-intercept = –6
D. x-intercept = –6
y-intercept = 2
