TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

Do you have an assignment? Yes Ma’am!

Okay, pass your assignments to the

front.

What was our topic yesterday? Ma’am, our topic yesterday was all about
determining linear functions.

Very Good! How can we determine if a

function is linear? Ma’am if the highest exponent is 1.

Yes! Another? If it is written in a form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.

Any other else? If the slope m≠0.

Excellent! Now how can we determine if If m=0 and only b is present.

a function is not linear?
Another? If the highest exponent is 2.

Very Good! Can you give me an example 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 1

of a linear function?

How about an example of not linear 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥² + 2𝑥 − 3

function?
Good! So is there any clarification in None Ma’am
determining linear functions?

Now before we proceed to our next topic,

let me present to you first our learning
objectives. Everybody read. (Reading the objectives)

ACTIVITY

Let’s have an activity first. The same

groupings from yesterday. All you need
to do is complete the table. Determine
the m, b, and evaluate the function from
the given x-values.

The allotted time for this activity is 5

minutes. If you’re done, you can post
your work to the board.

For you to be guided in this activity we

have here the scoring rubric. All together.

Okay you may start now!

(after 5 minutes)

Now, I’m going to give points to your

work, but we’ll focus first on promptness
and cooperation, the correctness of your
work will be checked later.

ANALYSIS

What did you feel during the activity? Ma’am, I felt happy because we finish our
work before the given time.

Were you having fun? Yes Ma’am.

Is the task difficult? Yes it is, because we don’t know yet what to
 put exactly in the table.

ABSTRACTION .

A linear function can be also described

using its graph.

Consider the function 𝑓 if 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 1

at 𝑥 = −3, 0, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 2

How many values of x are there? Three Ma’am.

Who can solve for the first value of x? Ma’am I will try.
If 𝑥 = −3, then 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 1 becomes
𝑓(−3) = 2(−3) − 1
𝑓(−3) = −6 − 1
𝑓(−3) = −7

How did you come up with that answer? By simply substituting the value of x to the
function.

So if 𝑥 = −3 and 𝑦 = −7,
What do you think is the ordered pair? (-3,-7)

Yes very good! Because an ordered pair

(x,y) can be also written as (𝑥, 𝑓(𝑥)) for
any function in 𝑓(𝑥) notation.

Now who can solve for the other value of

x? If 𝑥 = 0, then 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 1 becomes
𝑓(0) = 2(0) − 1
𝑓(0) = 0 − 1
𝑓(0) = −1
(0,-1) is the ordered pair

If 𝑥 = 2, then 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 1 becomes

𝑓(2) = 2(2) − 1
𝑓(2) = 4 − 1
𝑓(2) = 3
(2,3)

This implies that the graph of the function

𝑓 will pass through the points (-3,-7), (0,-
1) and (2,3). Out of the values, we can
have the table below.
x -3 0 2
f(x) -7 -1 3
With the use of the table of values of x
and y, the graph of the function is
 Ma’am it indicates that the graph doesn’t
stop there on a certain location, it’s a
continuum.

-3 and -4 Ma’am

What do you think do the arrow heads

there indicate? (raising their hands)
𝑓(𝑥) = −3𝑥 − 4
𝑓(0) = −3(0) − 4
Now, going back to the activity we had. 𝑓(0) = 0 − 4
What is the m and b of the function 𝑓(0) = −4
𝑓(𝑥) = −3𝑥 − 4?
𝑓(𝑥) = −3𝑥 − 4
Who among you here can evaluate the 𝑓(1) = −3(1) − 4
linear function if x are 0, 1, and 2? 𝑓(1) = −3 − 4
𝑓(1) = −7

𝑓(𝑥) = −3𝑥 − 4
𝑓(2) = −3(2) − 4
𝑓(2) = −6 − 4
𝑓(2) = −10

(0,-4), (1,-7), and (2,-10)

(raising their hands)

(solving on the board)

What are the ordered pairs?

How about the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 5𝑥+4,

who can solve for x and give the ordered
pairs?

Very good! Another for the last linear None Ma’am.

function 𝑓(𝑥) = 6𝑥.
None also Ma’am.
Remember class that the graph of a
linear function is a line. Lines that
continue forever in each direction, either
straight or slant line. Yes definitely Ma’am.

So any clarifications? Earlier we discussed that the linear functions

are either straight or slant lines. We
Questions? encountered many lines in our lives, like the
lines in the floor, board and everywhere.
APPLICATION

Is Linear Function important to our lives?

Why do you say so?

Yes very good! So indeed, linear function

is important.

EVALUATION

In a ½ crosswise, complete the table below:

ASSIGNMENT

of values of x and y then graph.
