2 Alg2 Honors Chapter 3: 3-1 to 3-4 Highlights Section 3-1: Linear Functions A linear function is a function whose general equation is y=mx+b where m and b stand for constants, and m 0. Section 3-2: Properties of Linear Function Graphs The graphs of linear equations have the following properties: 1. The graphs are straight lines. 2. The value of m (the slope) determines how "tilted" the graph is: a. If m is positive: Graph slopes up as x increases. b. If m is negative: Graph slopes down as x increases. 3. If m is zero, the graph is horizontal, and therefore a constant function, not a linear function. 4. The value of b tells where the graph crosses the y-axis. Intercepts: 1. The y-intercept of a function is the value of y when x = The x-intercept of a function is a value of x when y = 0. m = Slope = rise = y 2 y 1 = y Read: delta y over delta x OR run x 2 x 1 x change in y over change in x Horizontal and Vertical Lines 1. If y = constant, then the graph is a horizontal straight line. The slope is If x = constant, then the graph is a vertical straight line. There is no number for the slope. The slope is infinitely large (undefined). Section 3-3: Other Forms of the Linear Function Equation Forms of the Linear Function General Equation: y = mx + b, slope-intercept form m = slope b = y intercept y y1 = m(x x1) point-slope form (x 1, y 1) is a point on graph of line Ax + By = C standard form A, B, C stand for relatively prime constants, A 0 Section 3-4: Equations of Linear Functions from their Graphs Parallel and Perpendicular Lines: If the equation of a line is y = mx + b, then: A parallel line also has slope m A perpendicular line has slope 1 m

9 Alg2H (p. 1 of 4) Wk #3 Ch 3: Using Linear Mathematical Models to Predict Real World Information 1. Calvin Butterball drives from his home on the farm to nearby town of Scorpion Gulch. As he drives, his distance from Scorpion Gulch depends on the number of minutes he has been driving. When he has been driving 6 minutes, he is 17 km away; when he has been driving for 15 minutes, he is 11km away. Use related, appropriate variables to represent each: Independent variable: Let = Dependent variable: Let = a. Write the information about distances and times as two ordered pairs: b. Label the horizontal and vertical axes with names and units of measure of the independent and dependent variables. Plot the two ordered pairs c. Assuming that the distance-time relation is a linear function, determine related slope m = (Ratio of the change in the dependent variable to the change in the independent variable) e. Write the particular equation for this function: (1) First use point-slope form. (Formula: ) (2) Transform the equation to slope-intercept form. (Formula: ) e.

Tell what the slope represents in the real world, and tell the significance of the fact that the slope is negative. Parallel and Perpendicular Lines 2. Suppose Phoebe Small drives from her home to nearby Scorpion Gulch. When she is 5 km away from Scorpion Gulch, she notices that she has been traveling for 3 minutes. Assume that this distance-time relation is a linear function and Phoebe discovers that its graph is parallel to Calvin s. (1) What is the slope of the particular equation expressing her distance in terms of her time? (Parallel lines have slope.) (2) Determine that particular equation.

13 WK #4 (p. 1 of 2) Alg2H Introduction to Using the TI Calculator for Linear Functions Before using calculator: Check MODE: All terms to left should be highlighted now. (If in Geometry, highlight Degrees) Check FORMAT (2 nd ZOOM): All terms on left should be highlighted now. (Games often shut off axes) Check STAT PLOT (2 nd Y= ): All should be off. 1) Enter the slope-intercept form of equation in the y= menu. Only functions with = signs highlighted will be graphed. 2) Set WINDOW: Xmin and Xmax corresponds to the domain. Ymin and Ymax corresponds to the range. Xscl and Yscl can be set to appropriate scales for each axis. Using the Zoom menu: Scrolling down to 6:Zstandard or typing 6 sets the calculator standard window and automatically shows graph of highlighted functions with that window. If it is not appropriate, go to WINDOW and change it. Make window larger to be able to see beyond the actual graph. Use appropriate Xscl and Yscl to see graph. If feasible, include negative values for Xmin and Ymin to see all quadrants on graph. Experiment. Change the values of each of these and see how the graph is affected. Choose the most appropriate setting for the particular problem. 3) Use GRAPH key to view highlighted functions in y= menu. When copying a graph from the calculator to your paper, be sure to clearly label the axes, the scales and the ordered pairs of appropriate points. 4) Use TRACE When graph is on screen, press TRACE. Using the left and right arrows cursor can be moved along graph. Coordinates of the points traced will show on bottom of screen. Try to find the points given or determined in the problem to verify that they are on your graph. If there are two or more functions graphed on the screen, the up and down arrows move the cursor from one graph to another. When you are not using TRACE, the cursor is a free to move anywhere on the screen using all the arrow keys.

14 WK #4 (p. 2 of 2) 5) Use the TABLE a) TBLSET (2 nd WINDOW) allows you to start a table with a chosen independent variable s value (TblStart ) in chosen increments ( Tbl). To see a full table, Independent and Dependent variables should be set with AUTO highlighted. b) View the table by pressing TABLE (2 nd Graph). Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up a column. Use the left and right arrow keys to change columns. Verify that you can scroll to values before and after where the table was set. Verify that all the ordered pairs of the problem can be found in your table. What might be wrong if an ordered pair of the problem is not the same in the table? (Make any changes in your answers if necessary.) c) To find the dependent value of a particular independent variable, go back to TBLSET and set Indpnt to Ask by highlighting it and pressing enter. Leave the dependent variable with Auto highlighted. Now when viewing the TABLE you can enter any values for the independent variable to find the corresponding dependent values. Spend some time exploring these features of the calculator and getting used to them. For each linear mathematical model problem in section 3-5 use these features of the calculator appropriately to help you complete and increase your understanding of the problem.

15 Preparation WK #5 (p. 1 of 2) Alg2H Using the TI Calculator Linear Relationships Check the mode of your TI calculator. All terms to the left should be highlighted. (If you are taking Geometry, highlight DEGREES.) Purpose To investigate a situation involving a linear relationship between two variables. Background Definition: Two changing quantities x and y are linearly related if y = ax + b where a and b are real number constants. Problem Situation: You know, from actual driving data, that your car gets 17 miles per gallon when your average speed is 45 m.p.h., but only 14 m.p.g. when you average 60 m.p.h. A friend tells you that mileage g is almost linearly related to average speed v when v is between 30 m.p.h. and 100 m.p.h. That is, for these speeds, g can be approximated as a linear function of v. Identify: Investigations Independent variable: = Dependent variable: = 1. Write the two ordered pairs defined by the given data. Use speed as input and gas mileage as output. 2. Find the slope of the line defined by the linear relationship. Show your work. 3. Write the linear relationship described by the given data. Show your work. point-slope form slope-intercept form Standard form 4. Enter your equation in the y= menu Go to TBLSET (2 nd -Window). Create a table that displays the gas mileage for each value of speed from 50 m.p.h. to 80 m.p.h. in increments of 5 m.p.h. (ΔTbl = 5). (Both Independent and Dependent variables should be set to Auto). To view the table go to TABLE (2 nd -Graph) average speed v (m.p.h.) gas mileage g (m.p.g.)

16 WK #5 (p. 2 of 2) 5. In terms of gas mileage and speed, describe the meaning of the slope in this problem situation. 6. a. Write the domain of the problem situation. (Hint: See the description of the problem situation.) b. Write the range of the problem situation. Give reasons for your answer. 7. Use your calculator to sketch the graph of the relationship over the domain of the problem situation. Clearly label the axes, the scales, and each point from Table 1. (Follow the steps on the calculator introduction sheet.) 8. What average speeds would give you gas mileage of at least 16 miles per gallon? Describe how you found the answer. 9. Can the function created in investigation 3 be used to predict the gas mileage if the average speed is 25 m.p.h.? Why or why not? (Hint: What mileage does the function predict when the speed is zero? Does this make sense?) 10. For each one m.p.h. increase in speed between 30 m.p.h. and 100 m.p.h., what happens to the gas mileage? Give reasons for your answer.
