Linear Functions

 

In this lesson you will study linear functions which are the most basic algebraic functions. You will explore relations in which the y-value is dependent on the x-value for a given set of ordered pairs.  You will make tables of x and y values for linear equations and graph the equation.  You will also learn how to find the slope, or steepness, of a line given a diagram.  You will analyze how equations change when some values are kept constant while others change.  The lesson will conclude with examining some graphs about constant rates of change.
