How can you identify a linear function from a table of values?

Back

A linear function will have a constant rate of change between the x-values and y-values. This means that the difference in y-values divided by the difference in x-values will be the same for any two points.

What does the slope of a linear function represent?

Back

The slope of a linear function represents the rate of change of the function. It indicates how much the y-value changes for a unit change in the x-value.

What is the difference between linear and quadratic functions?

Back

Linear functions produce straight lines and have a degree of 1, while quadratic functions produce parabolas and have a degree of 2.

How do you determine if a function is exponential from a graph?
