Linear Functions and Student Enrollment

The video tutorial explains how to create a linear function to represent student enrollment at a charter school starting in 2005. It covers the basics of linear functions, including slope and intercept, and demonstrates how to calculate these from given data. The tutorial concludes with verifying the function and ensuring it accurately models the enrollment changes over time.

In what year did the charter school open with 350 students?

• 2000

• 2015

• 2005

• 2010

What is the general form of a linear function?

• f(x) = ax + b^2

• f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

• f(x) = mx + b

• f(x) = a/x + b

What is the linear function representing the number of students?

• n(t) = 100t + 350

• n(t) = -100t + 350

• n(t) = -50t + 350
