4.2 Patterns and Linear Functions

Objective: To identify and
represent patterns that describe
linear functions

4.2 Patterns and Linear Functions

Solve it on page 246
Identify quantities in the picture that vary in
response to other quantities. Describe the
relationship.

Ch 4-2

Students will be able to identify and represent

patterns that describe linear functions.

Patterns and Linear Functions

Algebra 1 Foundations, pg 255

Vocabulary
Variables whose values depend on the
another variable are dependent
variables.
The Independent variable causes the
change.

Vocabulary (continued)
Values of Dependent variables are
outputs.
Values of Independent variable are
inputs.

4.2 Patterns and Linear Functions

In the last example the perimeter is a
function of the number of rectangles.
Which variable is dependent variable?
Which variable is independent?

Function:
A function is a relationship that pairs each
input value with EXACTLY one output
value.
