Table à Equation

Do Now

Using the formula for arithmetic sequencing, write an equation for: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, …

an = a1 + (n – 1)(d)

In the formula for the equation of a line, y = mx + b, what does the m stand for?

Sequence to Table

Remember, a sequence can be represented in a table. Place the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, … into the following tables.

What is the common difference between each outcome?

Slope

The difference between the outcomes represents the change per one unit. If the difference between the outcomes is consistent, the values represent a linear function! The common difference (rate of change) is also known as slope!

Exercise: What is the slope represented in each example of the worksheet?

y-intercept

The y-intercept is the place where a linear function crosses over the y-axis. What value of x does the y-axis lie on?

Where is the y-intercept in a table of values for a linear function?

Exercise: Find the y-intercept in each example of the worksheet.

Linear Equations

You now have enough information to represent the slope and y-intercept in an equation. The slope-intercept form of a linear function is:

y = mx + b

Exercise: Write an equation to represent each example in the worksheet.

Babysitting

You have been hired by your neighbors to babysit their children on Friday night. You are paid $8 per hour. Complete the table relating your pay to the number of hours you worked.

Write an equation to represent this situation.

How could you use the information to determine the pay for a week in which you worked 20 hours?

Movies

The table below shows the relationship between the cost of renting a movie to the number of days on rent.
