Problem Solving with Linear Relationships: Tables and Graphs

This video tutorial teaches how to solve problems involving linear relationships using tables, equations, and graphs. It begins with an introduction to linear functions, highlighting common student mistakes. A real-world problem involving carnival rides is presented, and three methods to solve it are demonstrated: using a table, deriving an equation, and plotting a graph. Each method is explained step-by-step, emphasizing the importance of understanding the slope and y-intercept in linear functions.
