What does the slope of a linear function represent?

Back

The slope of a linear function represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how much y changes for a unit change in x.

How do you determine the equation of a function from a table of values?

Back

To determine the equation of a function from a table, identify the pattern in the changes of x and y values, and use methods such as finding differences or fitting a model (linear, quadratic, etc.).

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

Back

The initial value in a function represents the starting point of the function's output when the input is zero. It is crucial for understanding the function's behavior.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be decreasing?

Back

A function is decreasing if, as the input (x) increases, the output (y) decreases. This is indicated by a negative slope in a linear function.
