WORKSHEET – LINEAR FUNCTIONS (y = mx + c)
Name: Date:
A. Discovery – Bike Rental
Rule: y =
X 0 1 2 3
Plot points. Join with ruler. (See on slides)
· Shape:
· Crosses y-axis at: (0, )
· When x increases by 1, y increases by
Label: y-intercept (c), rise and run (m)
B. Experiment – Change the Rule
New rule: y = –2x + 5
Predict: · c =
· m sign: + / – (circle)
· Line direction: up / down (circle)
Plot:
X -1 0 1 2
Draw line. Correct prediction? YES / NO
C. Application – Party Venue
Graph given: line passes through (0,100) and (2,200).
· Context: Venue $100 base + $50 per person.
· Equation: y = x+
· Label m and c on the graph.
· Explain in words:
· m means:
· c means:
D. Challenge – Find the Equation
Plot: (0, –3) and (2, 1).
Draw line.
E. Exit Ticket (on sticky note or
back) Write y = 3x – 4
Circle c. Underline m.
Complete: For every +1 in x, y by
.
·c=
· Rise = , Run =
→m=
· Equation: y = x+
