Introduction to Linear Functions

• Definition of a linear function
• The standard form of a linear function: ( y = mx + b )
• Explanation of variables: ( m ) (slope) and ( b ) (y-intercept)
• Importance of linear functions in real-life applications

---

Understanding the Components of Linear Functions

• Slope ( (m) ):

  • Indicates the steepness and direction of the line
  • Calculated as ( \frac{rise}{run} )
  • Positive slope means the line rises; negative slope means it falls

• Y-intercept ( (b) ):

  • The point where the line crosses the y-axis
  • Represents the value of ( y ) when ( x = 0 )

---

Graphing Linear Functions

• Steps to graph a linear function:

  1. Identify the slope ( (m) ) and y-intercept ( (b) )
  2. Plot the y-intercept on the graph
  3. Use the slope to find a second point
  4. Draw a straight line through the points

• Key features of linear graphs:

  • Straight lines
  • Constant rate of change

Real-World Applications of Linear Functions

• Examples of linear functions in various fields:

  • Business: Profit and cost computations
  • Science: Relationship between dosage and response in medicine
  • Economics: Supply and demand curves

• Importance of identifying patterns in data using linear functions

---

Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities

• Basic approach to solving linear equations:

  • Isolate the variable on one side of the equation
  • Keep the equation balanced by performing the same operations on both sides

• Understanding linear inequalities:

  • Similar to linear equations but represent a range of solutions
  • Graphical representation includes shading to show the solution set

---

Systems of Linear Equations

• Definition of a system of equations:

  • Two or more linear equations that need to be solved simultaneously

• Methods for solving systems:

  • Graphing method: Where the lines intersect
  • Substitution method: Solving one equation for a variable and substituting it into another
  • Elimination method: Adding or subtracting equations to eliminate a variable

• Applications of systems of equations in real life

---

Conclusion: The Importance of Linear Functions in Algebra

• Recap of key concepts:
  • Definition, components, graphing, applications, and systems
• The role of linear functions as foundational concepts in algebra
• Encouragement to explore further applications in advanced mathematics
