Learning Objectives
Graphs of Linear Functions
- Graph linear functions by plotting points, using the slope and y-intercept, and by using transformations
- Write the equation of a linear function given its graph, including vertical and horizontal lines, match linear equations with their graphs
- Find the equations of vertical and horizontal lines
- Graph an absolute value function, find its intercepts
We can now describe a variety of characteristics that explain the behavior of linear functions. We will use this information to analyze a graphed line and write an equation based on its observable properties. From evaluating the graph, what can you determine about this linear function?
