What is the end behavior of a function?

Back

End behavior describes how the values of a function behave as the input approaches positive or negative infinity, often indicated by the leading term of the function.

Front

How do you represent a real-world situation with a linear function?

Back

A real-world situation can be modeled with a linear function by identifying the relationship between two variables and determining the slope and y-intercept based on the context.

What is the formula for the cost function of a tow truck service?

Back

Front

How do you find the cost of a service given a linear cost function?

Back

To find the cost, substitute the number of units (e.g., miles) into the cost function and calculate the result.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a linear function?

Back

The slope indicates the rate of change of the function; a positive slope means the function is increasing, while a negative slope means it is decreasing.
