Sum 1 Teach Me Linear Relations Your Boy Doesn’t Understand It;)

Juliette [100K]3 years ago

Answer:

A linear equation is an equation for a straight line

These are all linear equations:

yes   y = 2x + 1

yes   5x = 6 + 3y

yes   y/2 = 3 − x

Let us look more closely at one example:

Example: y = 2x + 1 is a linear equation:

line on a graph

The graph of y = 2x+1 is a straight line

 

When x increases, y increases twice as fast, so we need 2x

When x is 0, y is already 1. So +1 is also needed

And so: y = 2x + 1

Here are some example values:

x y = 2x + 1

-1 y = 2 × (-1) + 1 = -1

0 y = 2 × 0 + 1 = 1

1 y = 2 × 1 + 1 = 3

2 y = 2 × 2 + 1 = 5

Check for yourself that those points are part of the line above!

Different Forms

There are many ways of writing linear equations, but they usually have constants (like "2" or "c") and must have simple variables (like "x" or "y").

Examples: These are linear equations:

yes   y = 3x − 6

yes   y − 2 = 3(x + 1)

yes   y + 2x − 2 = 0

yes   5x = 6

yes   y/2 = 3

But the variables (like "x" or "y") in Linear Equations do NOT have:

Exponents (like the 2 in x2)

Square roots, cube roots, etc

Examples: These are NOT linear equations:

not   y2 − 2 = 0

not   3√x − y = 6

not   x3/2 = 16

Slope-Intercept Form

The most common form is the slope-intercept equation of a straight line:

y=mx+b graph

Equation of a Straight Line y=mx+b

Slope (or Gradient) Y Intercept

 

Example: y = 2x + 1

Slope: m = 2

Intercept: b = 1

Point-Slope Form

Another common one is the Point-Slope Form of the equation of a straight line:

y − y1 = m(x − x1)

 Point-Slope Form

Example: y − 3 = (¼)(x − 2)

It is in the form y − y1 = m(x − x1) where:

y1 = 3

m = ¼

x1 = 2

General Form

And there is also the General Form of the equation of a straight line:

Ax + By + C = 0

(A and B cannot both be 0)

Example: 3x + 2y − 4 = 0

It is in the form Ax + By + C = 0 where:

A = 3

B = 2

C = −4

There are other, less common forms as well.

As a Function

Sometimes a linear equation is written as a function, with f(x) instead of y:

y = 2x − 3

f(x) = 2x − 3

These are the same!

And functions are not always written using f(x):

y = 2x − 3

w(u) = 2u − 3

h(z) = 2z − 3

These are also the same!

The Identity Function

There is a special linear function called the "Identity Function":

f(x) = x

And here is its graph:

Identity Function

It makes a 45° (its slope is 1)

It is called "Identity" because what comes out is identical to what goes in:

In Out

0 0

5 5

−2 −2

...etc ...etc

Constant Functions

Another special type of linear function is the Constant Function ... it is a horizontal line:

Constant Function

f(x) = C

No matter what value of "x", f(x) is always equal to some constant value.

Given g ( x ) = 2 x + 3 , solve for x when g(x)=3.
padilas [110]

Answer:

x = 0

Step by step explanation:

g ( x ) = 2x + 3

If x = 0,

g ( 0 ) = 2 (0) + 3

or, g ( 0 ) = 3

The graph below shows the prices of different numbers of boots at a store: A graph is shown. The values on the x axis are 0, 2,
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

b=12.50p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x                 y

0                 0

2                 25

4                 50

6                 75

8                 100

10                125

To Find: Which equation can be used to determine p, the cost of b boots?

Solution :

Using point slope form Find the equation of line of the given coordinates

Let (x_{1} , y_{1})=(0,0)

Let (x_{2} , y_{2})=(2,25)

So, formula : y-y_{1} =\frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}} *(x-x_{1})

y-0 =\frac{25-0}{2-0} *(x-0)

y= 12.50x

Now we are given that cost of b boots is p

Since we are given that x axis is Number of Boots and y in price

So in the equation put x = b and y = p

So, equation : b=12.50p

Hence Option 4 is correct
