Math Journal (5 Min)• “What Do I Know About” – Each student will be

given the title of the lesson that will be taught that day. They must then, at the beginning of class, write about what they know about the lesson before they have been taught the lesson, and at the end of class, write about what they now know about the lesson after they have been taught the lesson. Then, each student will discuss his/her answers within their group. Finally, to leave class, each student will have to give/write 1 sentence that they now know that pertained to the lesson.

Problem of the Day

Chicken salad costs $5 per person and egg salad costs $4 per person. Write these two options as linear functions and compare them in terms of the context.

Chicken sal f(x) = 5x and egg sal g(x) = 4x; f has a greater rate of change (cost per person).


Textbook Examples (I Do) (5 Min)


Learn to compare linear functions represented in different ways.


Remember that slope is rise (change in y) divided by run (change in x) or ‘rise over run’.

Helpful Hint


Find and compare the slopes for the linear functions f and g.

f(x) = 10x – 5

Additional Example 1: Comparing Slopes

Find the slope of f.

Function f is written in slope-intercept form.

f(x) = mx + b

f(x) = 10x – 5

The slope of f is 10.

x –2 –1 0 1

g(x) 0 5 10 15


Additional Example 1: Continued

Find the slope of g.

The slope of g is 5.

The slope f is greater than the slope of g.

m =y2 – y1x2 – x1

10 – 50 – (–1)

= = 5


Find and compare the slopes for the linear functions f and g.

f(x) = 8x + 4

Check It Out: Example 1

x –2 –1 0 1

g(x) 0 8 16 24

Find the slope of f.

Function f is written in slope-intercept form.

f(x) = mx + b

f(x) = 8x + 4

The slope of f is 8.


Continued: Check It Out Example 1

Find the slope of g.

The slope of g is 8.

The slope f is the same as the slope of g.

m =y2 – y1x2 – x1

16 – 80 – (–1)

= = 8


Additional Example 2: Comparing Intercepts

Find the y-intercept of f.

When x = 0, f(x) = –6.

The y-intercept of f is –6.

Find the y-intercept of g.

Find and compare the y-intercepts for the linear functions f and g.

The graph of g crosses the y-axis at about –5.

The y-intercept of g is greater than the y-intercept of f.

x 0 1 2 3

f(x) -6 -4 -2 0


Check It Out: Example 2

Find the y-intercept of f.

When x = 0, f(x) = 3.

The y-intercept of f is 3.

Find the y-intercept of g.

The graph of g crosses the y-axis at about 3.5.

The y-intercept of f is greater than the y-intercept of g.

x –1 0 1 2

f(x) 0 3 6 9


Rate of change is given by the slope and initial value is given by the y-intercept of a linear function.

Remember!


Additional Example 3: Application Fred and Gene are hang gliding. Fred is 700 feet above the ground and descending at 15 ft/s. Gene is descending as shown in the table. Interpret the rates of change and initial values of the linear functions in terms of the situations they model.

f(x) = –15x + 700

Fred’s descent.

f(x) = mx + b

f(x) = –15x +700 The rate of change is –15.

The initial value is 700.

Additional Example 3: Continued

The rate of change is –10.

Gene’s descent.


Gene’s rate of descent (10 ft/sec) is 5 ft/s less than Fred’s. Fred is 125 feet higher than Gene when they start.

m =y2 – y1x2 – x1
