Analyze Linear Functions

Linear Functions - Our learning continues...

• We have learned about properties of functions, including rate of change and initial value.

• We also compared functions using tables, graphs and equations

Important Terms

• y = mx + b

• slope - the rate of change of a linear function. In the equation y = mx + b, the value of "m"

• y-intercept - the initial value of a linear function, the y-coordinate for the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. In the equation y = mx + b, the value of "b"
