Section 1.3 Linear Functions, Slope, and Applications, pp. 97-109, Brief
Summary
Linear Functions and Slope:
The graph of a linear function is a _______________________.
Slope m of a line containing the points
is given by m =
Horizontal and Vertical Lines: Do Example 2 from your text below. Graph each
linear equation and
de termine its slope.
Slope-Intercept Form: A linear function f given by f(x) = _________________
is written in slope-intercept
form. The constant m is called the _______________, and the y-intercept is (
____ , ____ ) .
Section 1.4 Equations of Lines and Modeling, pp. 115-123, Brief Summary
Point-Slope Equations of Lines:
The point-slope equation of the line with slope m passing through the point
is
_____________ = ____________________
Do Example 3: Find an equation of the line containing the points (2,3) and
(1,− 4) .
Use the Point-Slope method:
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines:
If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are ______________________.
If two lines are perpendicular, then the _______________ of their slopes is
________.
Linear Regression: Read through Example 7 in your book, and try these steps
on your calculator . For
more detailed instructions and some shortcuts, go to Course Documents in
MyMathLab. Look for Graphing
Calculator Help, and then the 1.4 Linear Regression Help Sheet.
One-time setup: To get your calculator to display the correlation coefficient
r, you will need to do the
fol lowing only once. Choose Cata log (2nd 0), and arrow down until you find
DiagnosticOn. Push Enter
twice, and you should see Done on your screen.
Enter data into lists:
1. Push the STAT button, and select Edit.
2. Clear any old data.
i. Use your arrows to highlight the list name.
ii. Push CLEAR.
iii. Push Enter. Repeat for any other lists.
3. Type the data into L1 and L2. Your screen should look like
To view a scatter plot of the data :
1. Push STAT PLOT (2nd Y=), and select 1:Plot1.
2. Turn Plot1 on by highlighting ON, and pushing Enter.
3. Make sure that the first type of graph, a scatterplot, is highlighted.
4. Make sure that L1 and L2 are listed as the Xlist and Ylist,
respectively.
5. Set an appropriate WINDOW for your data, and push GRAPH.
To find the regression line:
1. Push the STAT button, and arrow over to CALC.
2. Select #4:LinReg(ax+b), and hit Enter. LinReg should appear on your home
screen.
3. Push Enter again, and you should get the screen at the
right.
4. The line of regression is, therefore,
y = 2.863095238x + 76.74166667 . The value of r
displayed is the correlation coefficient; see the
discussion of correlation coefficients at the bottom of
p.123.
5. By typing the regression line equation into your Y= screen and
then hitting Graph, you can see the line and the data on the
same graph.
Section 1.5 Linear Equations, Functions, and Zeros, pp.
129-143, Brief Summary
Zeros of Functions : An input c of a function f is called a
zero of the function if the output for the function
is __________ when the input is ________. In other words, c is a zero of f if f
( _____ ) = ______ .
Do Example 11 algebraically. Find the zero of f (x) = 5x − 9 .
Algebraic Solution:
Formulas: Do Example 12. Solve P = 2l + 2w for l.
1.6 Solving Linear Inequalities, pp. 150-153, Brief
Summary
Linear Inequalities:
When both sides of an inequality are multiplied (or divided) by a negative
number , we must
____________ the inequality sign .
Do Example 1b. Solve and then graph the solution of 13 − 7x ≥ 10x − 4
Compound Inequalities:
Do Example 2. Solve and then graph the solution of − 3 < 2x + 5 ≤ 7
