Objectives:
1, Leam how to graph Tinesr function
2. Recognize the slope and y-intoreept of a linear function
3. Finding windows that fit he fuuction
4. Clearly explain why it is important to bave a good window
Problom 1; Given the function y= 2x+5 find the following information.
Find
a.) the slope m= »,) the y-intexcept
Insert the function into you graphing caleulator and
graph it on a standard window.
Sketch the graph un the axes provided.
Is this u youd window for Uhis function? Why or why
not?
Can you see the y-intercept clearly? Ifnot, what should you do so you can see the y-
intercept clcarly?
Problem 2: Given the fianetion 3x+2y =12
Find
a.) the slope m ~ bb.) the y-intereept b =
Insert the function into you graphing calculator 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?Problem 3: Given the function 3x +y =12
Find
a.) the slope m= ___ bb) the y-intereept b~ __
Insert the function inte you graphing calculator and
graph it on the standard window. Sketch the graph on
the axes provided
Is this a good window for this funetion? Why or why
not?
Can you see the y-intercept clearly? If not, what should you do so you can see the y-
intercept clearly? _
Problem 4: Given the function y= 5x +18
Find
a.) the slope m ~ b.) de y-intoreept h=
Iisert the function into your graphing calculator and graph it, What window did you
choose?
amin ymin
xmax ymax
Graph the fimetion in the space to the right.
Why did you choose this window?
