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.
