What does the slope of a linear function represent?

Back

The slope of a linear function represents the rate of change of the function, indicating how much the dependent variable (y) changes for a unit change in the independent variable (x).

Front

How do you determine if one linear function is greater than another?

Back

To determine if one linear function is greater than another, compare their slopes and y-intercepts. The function with the higher slope will increase faster.

Front

What does it mean if two linear functions have the same slope?

Back

If two linear functions have the same slope, they are parallel and will never intersect, meaning they have the same rate of change.

What does the graph of a linear function look like?

Back

The graph of a linear function is a straight line that can slope upwards, downwards, or be horizontal, depending on the slope value.

What is the significance of the initial value in a linear function?

Back

The initial value, or y-intercept, indicates the starting point of the function before any changes occur due to the slope.

How do you interpret the graph of a function in real-life scenarios?

Back

Interpreting the graph of a function involves understanding what the axes represent and how the changes in one variable affect the other in a real-life context.

What does it mean if a graph is increasing?

Back

If a graph is increasing, it means that as the independent variable (x) increases, the dependent variable (y) also increases.
