What is the rate of change in a linear function?

Back

The rate of change in a linear function represents how much the output (y) changes for a unit change in the input (x). It is often represented by the slope of the line.

How do you solve for y in the equation 7x + 2y = 20?

Back

To solve for y, isolate y on one side: 2y = -7x + 20, then y = -7/2x + 10.

What is the value of f(-8) if f(x) = 3(6 - x)?

Back

f(-8) = 3(6 - (-8)) = 3(6 + 8) = 3(14) = 42.

What does a graph representing $500 earned for every 8 hours worked indicate?

Back

It indicates that for every 8 hours of work, $500 is earned, which translates to a rate of $62.50 per hour.

How do you solve the equation 2x - 3 + 4x = 27?

Back

Combine like terms: 6x - 3 = 27. Then add 3 to both sides: 6x = 30. Finally, divide by 6: x = 5.

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you find the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 in the equation and solve for x.

What does the term 'constant' mean in algebra?

Back

A constant is a fixed value that does not change, represented by a number.

What is the difference between dependent and independent variables?

Back

The independent variable is the input (x), while the dependent variable is the output (y) that depends on the input.
