11.3 _ Equations in 2 variables: Finding solutions by subtracting in x or y and finding the
other variable. Also, rewrite linear equation in function form-> y= mx + b
11.4 _ Graphs of Linear Equations: Taking solutions found in Section 4.3 and plotting
the solutions as ordered pairs. Then, draw the line through these points(Solutions). Use
an input-output(x-y) table to get points.
11.5 _ Using Intercepts to Graph a Linear Function: A quicker alternative to graphing a
line rather than using a x-y table. Remember, the intercepts are often significant points
in a function. This method does not work if the x and y intercepts are both 0 -> (0,0)
origin is on the graph
11.7 _ Slope-Intercept Form and the Point-Slope Form of the Equation of a line: y= mx +
b; Plot y-intercept and use slope to generate move points on the line through which line
is drawn. If you know only a point on the line and the slope -> y-y1 = m(x-x1).
Sometimes, you only have 2 points to start with -> m= y2 - y1 and then use y-y1 = m(xx1) or y= mx+b!

11.8 _ Graphs of Linear Inequalities: Graphs of Linear Inequalities: Graph borderline
y= mx + b. Then if > or < use dashed line, > or < use a solid line. If > or > shade up. If <
or < shade down.
Simple Vocabularies:
Relation- A set of ordered pairs that relates an input to an output
Function- A pairing of each number in a given set with a number in another set
Input- A number in which a function operates
Output- A number produced by evaluating a fraction using a given input
Independent variable: = input value
Dependent variable: = output value
Domain: The set of all input values of a function
Range: The set of all output values of a function
General function notation: F(x) F is the function of x
Function rules: F(x)= mx + y-coordinate where x=0
!
(Type of relation that for each input value there is exactly one output value)
Linear Equation: An equation in which the variables appear in separate terms and each
variable occurs only to the first power. (Function rule)
Linear Function(Function rule): A line on a graph showing the relationship between the
independent variable and dependent variable. * is the function of **
Trend line: shows trend relationship.
