Sample problems

Functions can be given by a table, an equation, or a description in words. For a linear function $y = m x + b$ , $m$ is the rate of change and $b$ is the initial value (the output when the input is $0$ ). Compare these features across representations, and tell whether each function is linear or nonlinear.

1. Find the rate of change and initial value of the linear function $y = 5 x + 2$ .
2. Find the rate of change and initial value of the linear function shown in the table. $x 0123 y 371115$
3. Is the function in this table linear or nonlinear? Explain. $x 1234 y 14916$
4. Which function has the greater rate of change? Function A: $y = 3 x + 5$ . Function B: $y = 7 x - 1$ .

Plus 9 more problems and a full answer key in the PDF.
