Problem of the Day
Take the first 20 terms of the geometric
sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, . . . .Why
can’t you put those 20 numbers into
two groups such that each group has
the same sum?
All the numbers except 1 are even, so
the sum of the 20 numbers is odd and
cannot be divided into two equal integer
sums.

12-5 Linear Functions
The graph of a linear function is a line.
The linear function f(x) = mx + b has a
slope of m and a y-intercept of b. You
can use the equation f(x) = mx + b to
write the equation of a linear function
from a graph or table.
Pre-Algebra

Additional Example 1: Writing the Equation for a
Linear Function from a Graph
Write the rule for the linear function.
Use the equation f(x) = mx + b.
To find b, identify the y-intercept
from the graph.
b=2
f(x) = mx + 2
Locate another point on the
graph, such as (1, 4).
Substitute the x- and y-values
of the point into the equation,
and solve for m.

Example 3: Money Application
A video club cost $15 to join. Each video that
is rented costs $1.50. Find a rule for the
linear function that describes the total cost
of renting videos as a member of the club,
and find the total cost of renting 12 videos.
f(x) = mx + 15
The y-intercept is the cost to join, $15.
16.5 = m(1) + 15 With 1 rental the cost will be $16.50.
16.5 = m + 15
The rule for the function is f(x) =
–15
– 15
1.5x + 15. After 12 video rentals, the
1.5 = m

cost will be f(12) = 1.5(12) + 15 =
18 + 15 = $33.

Try This: Example 3
A book club has a membership fee of $20. Each
book purchased costs $2. Find a rule for the linear
function that describes the total cost of buying
books as a member of the club, and find the total
cost of buying 10 books.
f(x) = mx + 20
The y-intercept is the cost to join, $20.
With 1 book purchase the cost will be
22 = m(1) + 20
$22.
22 = m + 20
The rule for the function is
–20
– 20
f(x) = 2x + 20. After 10 book
2=m
purchases, the cost will be
f(10) = 2(10) + 20 = 20 + 20 = $40.
