Independent and Dependent Quantities
Independent and Dependent Quantities must be variables (letters), not constants
(numbers).
Independent Quantities are often quantities that cannot be controlled
Dependent Quantities change as a result of the Independent Quantities

Interpreting Linear Functions Functions can be represented in different ways:
y = 2x + 3 means the same thing as f(x) = 2x + 3
Linear Functions must have a ____ (rate of change) and a ________ (initial value).
In a function… the ______ is the constant (number) next to the
variable the _________ is the constant (number) by itself

Functions and their equations
• To find the equation of a function when you are given the table, use the feature of your graphing calculator.
Enter the table into the calculator using L1 for x and L2 for y.
Then return to and arrow over to CALC and choose the appropriate function type.
Press Enter to view equation.

Functions and their equations
• How do I know what type of function to use?
• All EOC questions will either be Linear (LinReg, ax+b) or Quadratic (QuadReg)
• If you aren’t sure look at the answers and see if they are linear or quadratic.

• Here’s one to try:The table below shows the relationship between x and y. Which function best represents the relationship between the quantities in the table?
x y
-1 -1
0 -4
1 -1

A. y = 2x² - 4
B. y = 3x² - 4
C. y = 2x² + 4
D. y = 3x² + 4

Converting Tables to Equations• When given a table of values, USE STAT!• Example: What equation describes the relationship
between the total cost, c, and the number of books, b?
b c
10 75
15 100
20 125
25 150

Converting Graphs to Equations• Make a table of values
• Then, use STAT!
• Example: Which linear function describes the graph shown below?

Converting Equation to Graph
• Graph the function in y =

Equations that are in Standard Form• Sometimes your equations won’t be in
y = mx + b form.
• They will be in standard form: __________• You must convert them to use the calculator!
Example: 3x + 2y = 12

Slope and Rate of Change (m)• Slope and ___________ are the same thing!
• They both indicate the steepness of a line.
• Three ways to find the slope of a line:
By Formula: By Counting: By Looking:

• The equation won’t be in y = mx + b form
• You’ll have to change it• If in Standard Form use Process on Slide 7• If in some other form, you’ll have to work it out…

• Special Cases
3, Ac2A
• Horizontal lines line y = 4Have slope of zero, m = __
Have slope that is _________
• Vertical lines like x = 4

m and b in a Linear Function• Changes to m, the
slope, of a line effect its steepness
3, Ac2C
• Changes to b, the y intercept, of a line effect its vertical position (up or down)
y = 1x + 0
y = 3x + 0
y = 1/3 x + 0
y = 1x + 0
y = 1x + 3
y = 1x - 4

m and b in a Linear Function, cont…
• Parallel Lines have _____ slope (m)
y = ¼ x – 3 and y = ¼ x + 6
• Perpendicular Lines have ________ _________ slope (m)
y = ¼ x – 5 and y = -4x + 15
• Lines with the same y intercept will have the same number for b
y = ¾ x – 9 and y = 5x – 9

Linear Equations from Points• Make a table
• USE STAT
• Example: Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (3, -1) and (-3, -3)?
x y

Intercepts of Lines• To find the
intercepts from a graph… just look!
• The x intercept is where a line crosses the x axis
• The y intercept is where a line crosses the y axis

Intercepts of Lines, cont…• To find intercepts from equations, use your
calculator to graph them
• Example: Find the x and y intercepts of 4x – 3y = 12.

Direct Variation• Set up a proportion!
• Make sure that similar numbers appear in the same location in the proportion
• Example: If y varies directly with x and y is 16 when x is 5 what is the value of x when y = 8?
3, Ac2F

Direct Variation, cont…• To find the constant of variation use a
linear function (y = kx) and find the slope
• The slope, m, is the same thing as k• Example: If y varies directly with x and y = 6
when x = 2, what is the constant of variation?
