Chapter 5 Lesson 6
Math 8 Topic: Writing Linear Function Rules DO IT:
What you have to leave
here knowing:
1) Thalcundra is 3 x 108 miles away from the sun while
Perelandra is 7 x 1011 miles away from the sun. About
how many times further away from the sun is Perelandra?
1) Write a function rule
based on a table.
a) 20
2) SWRL….. Interpret.
Connect. “Write a
function rule.”
2) What is the slope of the line connecting (-2, 3) and
(0, 7)?
b) 200
c) 2,000
d) 20,000
3) What is the equation of a line whose slope is -2 and y – intercept is 5?
a) y = -3x + 2
b) y = 2x – 3
c) 2y = -x
d) -3y = 9x
4) Which of the following is a solution to the inequality 3n + 5 < 11
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) -1
5) In the function y = -2x – 5, what is the output if the input is 9?
SELECT HOMEWORK ANTZAS:
We will do select questions at the board.
TODAY’S LESSON
Which of the following are NOT functions;
a) {(1, 3) (5, 7) (7, 15)}
b) {(1, 3) (2, 7) (3, 7)}
c)
d)
TODAY’S LESSON:
For linear patterns, there is a constant rate of change. This rate of change (I hope you
remember) is called slope. If we also remember that y = mx + b takes the form of a
function rule, we can write function rules by finding m and b in a table.
Here are three examples I will do with you.

INDIVIDUAL WORK: (If you are really stuck and can’t start this yourself, you may turn
to a neighbor for help.)
Jeremy went on a conditioning program. As part of that program, he began riding his
bike long distances. Each week increased by the same amount. After 2 weeks, he
rode 17 miles daily. After 3 weeks, he rode 21 miles a day. At 4 weeks, he had
increased to 25 miles each day. At the fifth week, Jeremy was riding 29 miles per day.
1) Summarize the data by placing it in the table below.
Week
Miles
2) We are going to write a function rule …… but his will take some figuring first.
Remember, we always want to get the data into y = mx + b form. The problem here is
that the table does NOT show a “0”, so we can’t pair up a y – intercept.
Can you figure out a way to find the y – intercept?
