Sample problems

Functions can be given by a table, a graph, an equation, or 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 $y = - 3 x + 8$ .
2. Find the rate of change and initial value of the linear function shown in the table. $x 0123 y 10162228$
3. Is the function in this table linear or nonlinear? Explain. $x 0123 y 261854$
4. Function A is the line graphed below. Function B is $y = 2 x + 1$ . Which function has the greater rate of change (steeper slope)?

Plus 10 more problems and a full answer key in the PDF.
