1.1 Representing Linear Relations

Bellwork:
A clothing store offers a weekly salary of $350 plus 3.5%
commission on the value of sales.
1. Create three different representations for this relationship.
2. Determine an employee's earnings if they sold $2800 in clothing last week.

Review: The Characteristics of a Linear Relation


• First differences are .

• The equation can be written in form or


form.

• The graph of a linear relation is always a .

• A line with a positive slope to the right.

• A line with a negative slope to the right.

• The slope of a horizontal line is , and the slope of a vertical line


is .
Practice Problems:
1) Show that the relationship 2) Rewrite 2x - 5y + 3 = 0 in

Are these examples of direct or partial variation? Explain.

Writing Equations from Words


• You MUST assign variables before you can write an equation. Remember
that variables represent something that can change, so DO NOT let x
represent a known value!
• Once you have assigned the appropriate number of variables (usually
two), watch for words that tell you what operations to use (ie/ sum/total is
add; less/difference is subtract)
• After you write your equation, look at it to see if it makes sense! Replace
your variable with words or try a number.
Practice Problems:
Define variables and create equations for each of the following.
1) A vending machine has $5.75 made up of nickels and dimes in it. Write an
equation to model the total amount of money.

2) A rental car company charges $35 per day plus $0.35 per kilometre
driven. Write an equation for the daily cost.

Odds and Ends with Linear Relations


• how do we determine if an ordered pair satisfies (is a solution to) a linear
equation?
ex/ Determine if (-1, 3) and (2, 5) satisfy 2y = 10 + 4x.

• Write an equation for a line that has a slope of -3 and passes through
the point (-2, 5).

• Once you have written an equation with two unknowns, you can solve
for one unknown by subbing in a given value. Be careful to place it in
the appropriate place!

ex/ If there were 30 dimes in the vending machine, how many


nickels were there?
