TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

Good Morning Class! Good Morning Ma’am!

Do you have an assignment? Yes Ma’am!

Okay, before we well check your

assignments, let us first recall our
topic last meeting.
Who can recall our previous lesson? Ma’am our lesson last meeting was all
about evaluating Algebraic expressions.

Very good let’s check your assignment (Checking their assignments)

Any clarifications? None Ma’am!

Excellent! Now class, I will write some

letter of the board.

letters?

You need clue? Yes Ma’am!

Okay clue, two words. The first words Function, Linear, Linear Function Ma’am!
consist of 6 letters while the second
word consists of 8 letters.

Linear Function! Very Good!

Now before we proceed to our next ( Reading the objectives)

topic, let me present to you, first
learning objectives. Everybody read.

ACTIVITY

Before we thoroughly discuss or

topic, let us have an activity 1, 2, 3, 4….
first. Group yourselves into 4
groups. Count off.
Okay go to your respective
group and then form a circle
silently.

Now class, I have here 10

functions written inside the
table. What you’re going to do is
to complete the table and read
the directions carefully.

The allotted time for this activity

is 5 minutes. Once you’re done,
you may post your work to the
board.

Okay you may start now!

(After 5 minutes)

Now, I’m going to give points to

your work, but we’ll focus on
promptness and cooperation,
the correctness of your work will
be checked later

You can go back to your seats

now.

ANALYSIS
What did you feel during the activity? Ma’am, I felt nervous because we’re not
sure if we answered it correctly.
Did you find any difficulty in
performing your task? Yes Ma’am.

What is it difficult?
It is difficult because we don’t have
enough knowledge about linear functions
especially in determining its degree.
ABSTRACTION
Okay class, what do you think is a Ma’am according to the book, a linear
linear function? function defined by f(x)=mx+b where m and b
are real numbers. Its graph is a line with
slope m and y-intercept b. if m
0, then the degree of the function is 1. If
 m = 0 and b = 0, then the degree of the
function is not defined.

Exactly!

Consider the function f(x)=2x+3, is this a A linear function Ma’am.

linear function or not?

Why do you say so? Because it is written in the form f(x)=mx+b.

The highest degree of exponent is one.

What is the degree of the highest
exponent of x?
Because m=2 and according to the
Why? definition of linear function if m
0, then the degree of the function is 1.

It is a linear function. Because it has a

Very good! How about the function degree of one and it can be also a written
g(x)=-x
linear or not? as g(x)=-1x+0.

No Ma’am.
Is the function h(x) =x2+5x +4
linear
function?
Because its degree or the highest
Why? exponent of x is 2 and not 1.

Yes, very good. If the degree is 2 then

it called a quadratic function and not
a linear function.
Yes Ma’am.
Did you understand?
Going back to the activity that you Linear function Ma’am.
had earlier. Is the function f(x)=5x+1
linear or not?

Why? Because the degree is one and it is

written in the form f(x)=mx+b.

How about f(x)=3x. It is a linear Yes Ma’am.

function?

Why? The degree is one.

Yes, it is a linear function for the slope

m is independent. Even through there
is no value of y-intercept b, it is still a
linear and it can be stand alone.

How about f(x)=-4. It is a linear?

No Ma’am.
Why do you say so?
Because the simple m is 0 and only y-
intercept b is present.
Very Good! Because in a linear
function, the y-intercept b is very
dependent. So it can’t stand alone.

How about f(x)=2(x-3)?

Explain why?
How about f(x)=3x2-5x+1, linear function
Linear Function.
Because if we are going to multiply or
distribute the 2 to (x-3) the result is
f(x)=2x-6
. It is written in a form f (x0=mx+b and
the degree is one.
or not? Not a linear function, because the degree
or the highest exponent is 2
Very Good! Do you have any
question? None so far Ma’am.
APLICATION
So, what do you think is the Ma’am the importance our topic is that
importance of our topic today? we can use the linear function formula
f(x)=mx+b
in finding the ordinate if the
abscissa is given.

Okay, so any clarification? None Ma’am.

EVALUATION
Direction: Determine the whether
each of the following is a Linear
Function or not and write its degree
or the highest exponent.

1. f(x)=6x+3

2. f(x)=-x+5

3. g(x)=x(x+5)

4. h(x)=-x (8+6)

5. f(x)=(x+4) (x-2)

ASSIGNMENT
Directions: Tell whether the function
is a Linear Function or not. For not
linear functions explanation, give a
brief why it is not a linear function.

1. f(x)=-x (7-3)

2. g(x)=(x+3) (x+3)
3. h(x)=5(x)+5(5x)

4. f(x)=0
