Essential Question: Explain whether an equation is linear if three ordered pair solutions lie on a straight line but a fourth does not.
Objective: 5.01a, 5.01b, 5.03Develop an understanding of function with algebraic representations and identify relations as linear or nonlinear.
4
A linear equation is an equation whose solutions fall on a line on the coordinate plane. All solutions of a particular linear equation fall on the line, and all the points on the line are solutions of the equation. To find a solution that lies between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), choose an x-value between x1 and x2 and find the corresponding y-value.

So, x2- x1 would be read,
X sub 2 minus x sub 1
You will see this again very soon! (Hint: 11-2)
We will be referencing ordered pairs to determine the value of the x’s and
the y’s.

Common Error Alert!
Students may incorrectly graph a point so that it is not collinear with the others. Encourage students to double check any points that are not collinear.
(Collinear – points lying on the same line)
In short, if you graph a point and it is NOT on the line, double check your work to ensure that you have not made a mistake!
7
If an equation is linear, a constant change in the x-value corresponds to a constant change in the y-value. The graph shows an example where each time the x-value increases by 3, the y-value increases by 2.

Additional Example 2: Sports Application
A lift on a ski slope rises according to the equation a = 130t + 6250, where a is the altitude in feet and t is the number of minutes that a skier has been on the lift. Five friends are on the lift. What is the altitude of each person if they have been on the ski lift for the times listed in the table? Draw a graph that represents the relationship between the time on the lift and the altitude.

The altitudes are: Anna, 6770 feet; Tracy, 6640 feet; Kwani, 6510 feet; Tony, 6445 feet; George, 6380 feet. This is a linear equation because when t increases by 1 unit, a increases by 130 units. Note that a skier with 0 time on the lift implies that the bottom of the lift is at an altitude of 6250 feet.
