Objectives:
‘Learn how to graph linear function
Recognize the slope and y-intercept of a linear funetion
Finding windows that fit the function .
Clearly explain why itis important to have a good window
aepe
Problem 1: Given the function y = 2x +5 find the following information.
Find
a.) the slope m= .) the y-intercept b =
Insert the function into you graphing calculator and
graph it on a standard window.
Sketch the yraph on the axes provided
Is this a good window for this fiction? Why or why
not?
Can you sec the y-interccpt clearly? If not, what should you do so you can see the y-
intercept clearly?
Problem 2: Given the funetion 3x -+2y =12
Find
a.) the slope m = _ b,) the y-intercept b
Insert the fimetion into yon graphing caleulator and —
graph it on the standard window. Sketch the graph on
the axes provided
Is this a good window for this function?’ Why or why
not?
Can you see the y-intercept clearly? Ifnot, what should you do so you can see the y=
intercept clearly?
