11.1 Functions

Linear Relationships

A relationship between two quantities is called a linear

relationship if it produces data points thats all lie on a
straight line when graphed.

For this graph of a linear relationship, can you predict where

to place the 4th4th data point in the graph?

A radio station has 3636 concert tickets to give away as

prizes. They decide to give away 44 tickets every day
until they run out of tickets. Is the relationship between
the number of tickets left and how many days have
passed a linear relationship?

11.2 Plotting Graphs

Cartesian Coordinate Plane

We represent functions graphically by plotting

points on a coordinate plane (also sometimes
called the Cartesian plane). The coordinate
plane is a grid formed by a horizontal number
line and a vertical number line that cross at a
point called the origin.
 A straight line graph is a visual representation of a linear function. It has a general
equation of: 𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒄

𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 1

𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 3

Plot the points on graphs Join the point

𝑦 = 3𝑥 − 4

Plot the points on graphs Join the points

Do it yourself!

𝑦 = 3𝑥 − 5
Complete the table of values for 𝑦 = 5𝑥 − 4

𝑦 = 4 − 2𝑥
𝑦 = −2𝑥 + 5

The grid blow shows the graph of 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 3

Draw the graph of 𝑦 = 2𝑥. Compare the two function to see what changed. Explain it.
 11.3 Gradient and Intercept

y=mx+c

The intercepts of a graph is where it crosses the

coordinate axes.

c is the y-intercept (the point in which the line crosses the y-axis). (x=0)

x-intercept (the point in which the line crosses the x-axis). (y=0)

The gradient ‘m’

The gradient of the line tells us how steep the line is.
We use the letter m to denote the gradient.

𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒄 Gradient “m” y−intercept “c” x−intercept

(x=0) (y=0)

𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 4 2 4 −2

𝑦 = 6𝑥 − 3 6 −3 0.5

𝑦 = −4𝑥 −4 0 0
 𝑦 =6−𝑥 −1 6 6

NOTE: If the graph aligned left m is negative. If it is aligned right m is positive.
