Topic notes: Linear function


a) A linear function is any function that graphs a straight line, relating two (x, y) variables
proportionately.

b) Characteristics of a linear function:


1. Are those whose graph is a straight line
2: They have one independent variable (x) and dependent variable (y)
3. No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the
denominator of a fraction
4. A is the constant term or the y intercept. It is the value of the dependent variable when x =
0.
B is the coefficient of the independent variable. It is also known as the slope and gives the rate
of change of the dependent variable.

c) The slope represents the inclination of a line. It is also known as the


rate of change between any two points on the graph.
Types of slope

Change in “y”

Change in “x”

Intersection with the x and y axis:


a) When finding the intersection with the x axis, we make: y=0 when finding the intersection
with the y axis, we make: x=0

Types of lines

Slopes Equal

Slopes: -1

Slopes: Different slopes

Examples:
1. Find the slope of the line that passes through:
(-3, -8) y (5, 6).

The slope is 7/4

2. Find the slope of the following line: 3. Find the intersection of the x and y axis 3x – 6y = 12
3X-6(0)=12 3(0)-6y=12
3X=12 -6y=12
X=4 y=-2

4.Rewrite the equation as Ax +By = C. A, B and 5.Write an equation of a line in y intercept
C should be integers. form that has a slope 4 and y intercept of 1.
Y + 5 = -5 (x+4) Y=4x+1
Y+5=-5x-20
Y+5x=-20-5
Y+5x=-15
5x+y= -15

6. A table of values is shown:

Find the intersection with the y axis, the slope and the equation of the line (y intercept
form).

Y intercept: 8
Slope: -3/1= -3
Equation: y= -3x+8

7. Graph the following equations:

-
Graph: 𝑦 = . 𝑥 Graph: 𝑦 = −𝑥 + 3
.
Graph: 𝑦 = − / 𝑥 + 1

Graph the following line: y – 2x = - 9


Y=2x-9

8. Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points (y intercept form and general
form):
(4,-2), (-6,-6)
Y=mx+b
M= -6+2/-6-4= -4/-10= 4/10= 2/5
B= -2=2/5(4)+b= -2=8/5+b= -2-8/5=b= -18/5=b
Y=2/5 x -18/5

Ax+By=C
-2/5 x + y= -18/5
-2x + 5y= -18

9.Identify which lines are parallel and which lines are perpendicular given the following
information.
The equation of three lines is shown below:
Line 1: y= - 2x +8
Line 2: y = - 2x – 6
Line 3: 3x - 6y = - 12 -> -3x/-6= 1/2x
Determine if the pair of lines is parallel, perpendicular or neither.
Lines 1 y 2: parallel
Lines 2 y 3: perpendicular
Lines 1 y 3: perpendicular

10. Find and equation that models the following situation and give a solution.
A construction crew is building a stretch of highway. The part they were working on had a total length of
56 miles when they started, the construction crew lays 4 new miles of highway every day. Let L be the
total length of the highway in miles and D the amount of days the crew has been working.
a) Write an equation that models the relationship between L and D.
L=56+4D

b) Using the equation you found on the previous exercise, find the total length of the highway that will
have been laid after 31 days of construction work.
L=56+4(31)
L=56+124= L=180
