How do you determine if an ordered pair (x, y) is a solution to a function?

Back

Substitute the x-value into the function and see if the resulting y-value matches the y in the ordered pair.

How do you graph a linear function?

Back

Plot the y-intercept on the graph, then use the slope to find another point, and draw a line through the points.
