Linear Functions Teacher Resources

This lesson explains how to compare properties of linear functions represented in different forms and how to use different representations of linear functions to solve problems. [6:25]

Find activities here for linear functions, slopes and regression lines. Use them for classroom work or individual assignments.

This StudyCard stack teaches and tests on the linear function. Shows connection between the function parameters and the resulting geometric behaviors of the linear function. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, ch. 2.3, 4.1.

This video analyze the graph of a linear function.

A demonstration on how to find the solution of a linear and a nonlinear systems of equations graphically and by the substitution method.

Students submit their own data that can be modeled by a linear function. Students find the line of best fit, and discuss graphs of linear functions.

Analyzing a word problem dealing with a linear function.
