Equations of Linear Functions

Before you begin Chapter 4
• Read each statement.
• Decide whether you Agree (A) or Disagree (D) with the statement.
• Write A or D in the first column OR if you are not sure whether you agree or
disagree, write NS (Not Sure).

After you complete Chapter 4
• Reread each statement and complete the last column by entering an A or a D.
• Did any of your opinions about the statements change from the first column?
• For those statements that you mark with a D, use a piece of paper to write an
example of why you disagree.
STEP 1
A, D, or NS

STEP 2
A or D
1. The slope of a line given by an equation in the form y = mx + b
can be determined by looking at the equation.
2. The y-intercept of y = 12x - 8 is 8.
3. If two points on a line are known, then an equation can be
written for that line.
4. An equation in the form y = mx + b is in point-slope form.
5. If a pair of lines are parallel, then they have the same slope.
6. Lines that intersect at right angles are called perpendicular
lines.
7. A scatter plot is said to have a negative correlation when the
points are random and show no relationship between x and y.
8. The closer the correlation coefficient is to zero, the more closely
a best-fit line models a set of data.
9. The equations of a regression line and a median-fit line are
very similar.
10. An inverse relation is obtained by exchanging the x-coordinates
with the y-coordinates of each ordered pair of the original
relation.

MEDIA Since 1999, the number of music cassettes sold has
decreased by an average rate of 27 million per year. There were 124 million music
cassettes sold in 1999.
a. Write a linear equation to find the average number of music cassettes sold in
any year after 1999.

The rate of change is -27 million per year. In the first year, the number of music
cassettes sold was 124 million. Let N = the number of millions of music cassettes sold.
Let x = the number of years since 1999. An equation is N = -27x + 124.
b. Graph the equation.

The graph of N = -27x + 124 is a line that passes
through the point at (0, 124) and has a slope of -27.
c. Find the approximate number of music cassettes
sold in 2003.
N = -27x + 124

Using Equations: Ideal Weight
You can find your ideal weight as follows.
A woman should weigh 100 pounds for the first 5 feet of height and
5 additional pounds for each inch over 5 feet (5 feet = 60 inches).
A man should weigh 106 pounds for the first 5 feet of height and
6 additional pounds for each inch over 5 feet. These formulas apply to
people with normal bone structures.
To determine your bone structure, wrap your thumb and index finger
around the wrist of your other hand. If the thumb and finger just touch,
you have normal bone structure. If they overlap, you are small-boned.
If they don’t overlap, you are large-boned. Small-boned people should decrease their
calculated ideal weight by 10%. Large-boned people should increase the value by 10%.
Calculate the ideal weights of these people.
1. woman, 5 ft 4 in., normal-boned
2. man, 5 ft 11 in., large-boned
3. man, 6 ft 5 in., small-boned
4. you, if you are at least 5 ft tall
For Exercises 5–9, use the following information.
Suppose a normal-boned man is x inches tall. If he is at least 5 feet
tall, then x - 60 represents the number of inches this man is over
5 feet tall. For each of these inches, his ideal weight is increased by
6 pounds. Thus, his proper weight y is given by the formula
y = 6(x - 60) + 106 or y = 6x - 254. If the man is large-boned, the
formula becomes y = 6x - 254 + 0.10(6x - 254).
5. Write the formula for the weight of a large-boned man
in slope-intercept form.
6. Derive the formula for the ideal weight y of a normal-boned
female with height x inches. Write the formula in
slope-intercept form.
7. Derive the formula in slope-intercept form for the ideal weight y
of a large-boned female with height x inches.
8. Derive the formula in slope-intercept form for the ideal weight y
of a small-boned male with height x inches.
9. Find the heights at which the ideal weights of normal-boned males

Tangent to a Curve
A tangent line is a line that intersects a curve at a point with the same rate of change, or
slope, as the rate of change of the curve at that point.
For quadratic functions, functions of the form y = ax2 + bx + c, equations of the tangent lines
can be found. This is based on the fact that the slope through any two points on the curve
is equal to the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point whose x-value is halfway
between the x-values of the other two points.

Find an equation of the line tangent to the
curve y = x2 + 3x + 2 through the point (2, 12).
First find two points on the curve whose x-values are
equidistant from the x-value of (2, 12).
Step 1: Find two points on the curve. Use x = 1 and x = 3.

When x = 1, y = 12 + 3(1) + 2 or 6.

When x = 3, y = 32 + 3(3) + 2 or 20.

So, the two ordered pairs are (1, 6) and (3, 20).
Step 2: Find the slope of the line that passes through these two points.

m = 20 - 6 −
3 - 1
or 7
Step 3: Now use this slope and the point (2, 12) to find an equation of the tangent line.

y = mx + b
Slope-intercept form

12 = 7(2) + b
Replace x with 2, y with 12, and m with 7.

-2 = b

Solve for b.
So, an equation of the tangent line to y = x2 + 3x + 2 through the point (2, 12) is y = 7x – 2.
Exercises

2. y = 3x2 + 4x - 5, (-4, 27)
3. y = 5 - x2, (1, 4)
4. Find the slope of the line tangent to the curve at x = 0 for the general equation
y = ax2 + bx + c.
5. Find the slope of the line tangent to the curve y = ax2 + bx + c at x by finding the slope
of the line through the points (0, c) and (2x, 4ax2 + 2bx + c). Does this equation find the
same slope for x = 0 as you found in Exercise 4?

You have learned how to find the slope between two points on a line. Does
it matter which two points you use? How does your choice of points affect
the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line?
1. Choose three different pairs of points from the graph at the
right. Write the slope-intercept form of the line using each pair.
2. How are the equations related?
3. What conclusion can you draw from your answers to Exercises 1 and 2?
When points are contained in the same line, they are said to be collinear.
Even though points may look like they form a line when connected, it does
not mean that they actually do. By checking pairs of points on a graph
you can determine whether the graph represents a linear relationship.

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Parallel Lines Two nonvertical lines are parallel if they have the same slope. All
vertical lines are parallel.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes
through (-1, 6) and is parallel to the graph of y = 2x + 12.
A line parallel to y = 2x + 12 has the same slope, 2. Replace m with 2 and (x1, y1) with
(-1, 6) in the point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Point-slope form
y - 6 = 2(x - (-1)) m = 2; (x1, y1) = (-1, 6)
y - 6 = 2(x + 1)
Simplify.
y - 6 = 2x + 2
Distributive Property

y = 2x + 8
Slope-intercept form
Therefore, the equation is y = 2x + 8.

Scatter Plots and Lines of Fit
Investigate Relationships Using Scatter Plots A scatter plot is a graph in
which two sets of data are plotted as ordered pairs in a coordinate plane. If y increases as x
increases, there is a positive correlation between x and y. If y decreases as x increases,
there is a negative correlation between x and y. If x and y are not related, there is no
correlation.

The table shows the number of millions of dollars of direct
political contributions received by Democrats and Republicans
in selected years.
1. Use a spreadsheet to draw a scatter plot and a trendline for the
data. Let x represent the number of years since 1990 and let
y represent direct political contributions in millions of dollars.
2. Predict the amount of direct political contributions for the 2010 election.
Spreadsheet Activity
Scatter Plots

The table below shows the number of metric tons of gold produced
in mines in the United States in selected years.
Use a spreadsheet to draw a scatter plot and a trendline for the data.
Let x represent the number of years since 2000 and let y represent the
number of metric tons of gold. Then predict the number of ounces of
gold produced in 2013.
Step 1 Use Column A for the years since 2000 and Column B for the number of metric
tons of gold. To create a graph from the data, select the data in Columns A and B
and choose Chart from the Insert menu. Select an XY (Scatter) chart to show the
data points.
Step 2 Add a trendline to the graph by choosing the Chart menu. Add a linear
trendline. Use the options menu to have the trendline forecast 5 years forward.

Using this trendline, it appears that the gold production for 2013 will be
approximately 150 metric tons.
A spreadsheet program can create scatter plots of data that you enter. You can also
have the spreadsheet graph a line of fit, called a trendline, automatically.

Equations of Best-Fit Lines Many graphing calculators utilize an algorithm called
linear regression to find a precise line of fit called the best-fit line. The calculator
computes the data, writes an equation, and gives you the correlation coefficent, a
measure of how closely the equation models the data.

For some sets of data, a linear equation in the form y = ax + b does not adequately describe
the relationship between data points. The “QuadReg” function on a graphing calculator
will output an equation in the form y = ax2 + bx + c. The value of R2, the coefficient of
determination tells you how closely the parabola fits the data.

a. Find the equation of a quadratic-regression parabola for the data.
Running a linear regression on the data provides an r value of 0.03, which indicates a
poor fit. The data appears to be a good candidate for a quadratic regression.
Step 1 Enter the data by pressing STAT and selecting the Edit
option. Enter the years since 1970 as your x-values (L1)
and enter the population figures as your y-values (L2).
Step 2 Perform the quadratic regression by pressing STAT and
selecting the CALC option. Scroll down to QuadReg and
press ENTER .
Step 3 Write the equation of the best-fit parabola by rounding the
a, b, and c values on the screen.
The equation for the best-fit parabola is
y = 302.8x2 – 11,480x + 501,227.
b. Find the coefficient of determination.
The coefficient of determination for the parabola is R2 = 0.969,
which indicates a good fit.
c. Use the quadratic-regression parabola to predict the population in 2010.
Graph the best-fit parabola. Then use the TRACE
feature and
the arrow keys until you find a point where x = 40.
When x ≈ 40, y ≈ 525,000. The estimated population will be 525,000.

Inverse Relations An inverse relation is the set of ordered pairs obtained by
exchanging the x-coordinates with the y-coordinates of each ordered pair. The domain of a
relation becomes the range of its inverse, and the range of the relation becomes the domain
of its inverse.

Find and graph the inverse of the relation represented by line a.
The graph of the relation passes through (–2, –10), (–1, –7), (0, –4), (1, –1), (2, 2), (3, 5),
and (4, 8).
To find the inverse, exchange the coordinates
of the ordered pairs.
The graph of the inverse passes through the points
(–10, –2), (–7, –1), (–4, 0), (–1, 1), (2, 2), (5, 3), and (8, 4).
Graph these points and then draw the line that passes
through them.

In a function, there is exactly one output for every input. In other words, every element in
the domain pairs with exactly one element in the range. When a function is one-to-one,
each element of the domain pairs with exactly one unique element in the range. When a
function is onto, each element of the range corresponds to an element in the domain.
If a function is both one-to-one and onto, then the inverse is also a function.
Determine whether each relation is a function. If it is a function, determine
if it is one-to-one, onto, both, or neither.

Rubric for Scoring Extended Response Test
General Scoring Guidelines
•
If a student gives only a correct numerical answer to a problem but does not show how
he or she arrived at the answer, the student will be awarded only 1 credit. All extended
response questions require the student to show work.
•
A fully correct answer for a multiple-part question requires correct responses for all
parts of the question. For example, if a question has three parts, the correct response to
one or two parts of the question that required work to be shown is not considered a fully
correct response.
•
Students who use trial and error to solve a problem must show their method. Merely
showing that the answer checks or is correct is not considered a complete response for
full credit.
