Chapter 7.3
Understanding tables of values of linear relationships
What You'll Learn
Identify linear relationships by analyzing patterns in tables of values
Plot coordinate points from tables to create graphs of linear relationships
Calculate slope using the rise over run formula from two coordinate points
Write linear equations in y = mx + b form using slope and y-intercept
Determine whether a relationship is linear by checking for constant rate of change
Apply linear equations to solve real-world problems like rental costs
What You'll Practice
1
Graphing points from x-y value tables on coordinate planes
2
Calculating slope from coordinate pairs using the formula
3
Writing equations from tables by finding slope and y-intercept
4
