Study Notes
Function
- A function describes a relationship or expression that involves one or more variables.
Domain
- The domain represents the x-values of a function, outlining the possible inputs.
Range
- The range encompasses the y-values of a function, indicating the possible outputs.
Slope
- Slope is a numerical value that indicates both the direction (increasing or decreasing) and the steepness of a line.
X-Intercept
- An x-intercept is a point where the graph intersects the x-axis, meaning the y-value at this point is zero.
Y-Intercept
- The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, represented in the linear equation y = mx + b as the value of b.
Slope-Intercept Form
- Slope-intercept form of a linear equation expresses the relationship between x and y with the slope and y-intercept clearly defined.
Standard Form of Linear Function
- Linear functions can be represented in three standard forms, each providing a different way to express the relationship between variables.
Point-Slope Form
- Point-slope form is represented as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m denotes the slope and (x1, y1) are specific coordinates on the line. This format enables easy calculation of the line's equation when a point and slope are known.
