Comparing Functions

Front

What is the equation for a function with a rate of change of 0.04?

Back

y = 0.04x

Front

In a function, what does the rate of change represent?

Back

The number next to the input (x) in the equation.

Front

What is the initial value in a function represented on a graph?

Back

The y-intercept, which is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you determine who has a greater rate of change between two functions?

Back

Compare the coefficients of x in their equations.

Front

If a function is represented as y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

The rate of change of the function.

Front

What does the term 'initial value' refer to in a function?

Back

The value of the function when x = 0.

Front

If Casey's function has a rate of change of 5 and Hunter's has a rate of change of 3, who has the greater rate of change?

Back

Casey has the greater rate of change.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear function?

Back

It indicates the starting value of the function when x is zero.

Front

How can you express a function with a constant rate of change?

Back

Using a linear equation in the form y = mx + b.

Front

What does a steeper slope in a graph indicate about the rate of change?

Back

It indicates a greater rate of change.
